New C# Home Page Design Up on MSDN

Nov 22, 2003 1 min.

We’ve been playing with some new developer center home page designs, and we decided to update the C# site first. Check it out at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/ and let me know what you think… Of special interest to the blogging folks, notice that my blog is right on the home page… so expect regular C# updates feeding through weblogs.asp.net right onto MSDN.

Hands On Labs

Puppy Luppy just commented: Downloaded the SQL Server/Yukon Hands On Labs…can’t find anything in the c:\Labs directory…as in: C:\Labs\DTS Lab\SourceQuery.sql C:\Labs\DTS Lab\DTSLabDimProduct.dtsx but didn’t give an email address… so everyone gets to read my reply 🙂 All of the labs install to your My Documents folder, but most of the lab instructions assume a certain directory (c:\labs for the SQL ones)… so… you will either be copying files around a bit, adjusting the instructions or having to run some setup code before you can use the labs.

I just read the description of this game on xbox.com, which I’ve done before … then I read “Nov 2003” for a ship date. I swear I actually shivered… oooh. Turns out, according to EBGames.com at least, that it is 12/15/2003… which is the day before I go away from my XBox for 3 weeks… but I’m still excited!

Dolomite Dolemite

Earlier today I posted some background pics… including some from www.dolomitesworld.com… Frank Redmond (Content Strategist for .NET Framework) just bust out laughing in my office because he thought I was posting backgrounds based on one of the many wonderful Dolemite films… I wasn’t… but now Frank is bringing in a selection of movies for me to watch, as it seems that my cultural education is severely lacking in the “martial arts blaxploitation comedy” category

As a follow up my last post… I also found this fairly clear and simple explanation of using just SHAutoComplete (which is much easier than implementing IAutoComplete2) in your applications
