[Sorry if my original posting of this was a little unreadable... My blog writer evidently didn't make the transit to the new OS all that well (see below for what I'm talking about)] I've had an interesting couple of months as a developer and a "Microsoft guy" (possibly "MS...

This is just a quick post to point out an excellent one by my friend (and former co-worker) DevPrime. He writes about a technique for Using SQL Server Files for Unit Testing in VS2005 TS . Not to blow the article too much, but his idea is to create SQL Server Compact Edition files with your tests. I...

Somehow I missed the first Release Candidate (yesterday). ReSharper is in release candidate mode! We should be seeing release soon (I bet). For those of you interested in trying it out, the EAP Page , contains a license info that will let you use the RC for a bit longer than the normal trial. So download...

[UPDATE: I fixed the formatting on this post. I'm using the Firefox Deepest Sender plugin to write posts... I need to work with a bit more... sorry] So I have begun my first week at ASPSOFT.
