DISQUS

Best I can tell from the C# Code Snippet docs, you cannot transform the backing field name into the property name (or vice versa). There's very basic support for functions, and none of them cover this case.

Since writing this tip, I've started to put some of the more common items I use on that toolbar. VisualSVN commands, SubSonic external tool item, etc. It's becoming even more handy all the time.

Fredrik, that was fixed in the VS2008 Hotfix. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/02/...

The phishing attacks will adapt to it so in the long run I don't see it as helpful. My bank for instance has nothing with their name in the URL for their online banking. How is highlighting the domain going to help in that case?

For default values. For instance, if I have a string property that should always have a default, I can't do that with automatic props.

Great tip!

Oh, I'm not leaving. The company is great and we will eventually switch to SVN. I'm just looking for things that make VSS more tolerable.

Hi Ken,
I kind of thought that would be the case for larger queries. I'm only using this method on a query for under 100 rows so I haven't run into any performance issues yet.

Hi Ryan...I wrote this post before they enabled sticky keys. I tried using it with sticky keys too and it still didn't work for me (see http://john-sheehan.com/blog/index.php/enso-rev...). Not saying its a bad product, just not for me.

I guess I wasn't really trying to bash the iPhone so much as point out that I think people are going to be very dissapointed with the device with inadequate and overpriced service options. T-Mobile's unlimited data/sms plan MAKES the Sidekick. The Sidekick isn't nearly as useful without the plan. For the iPhone to achieve success outside the tech-savvy and fanboys, I think it needs better a better service plan.

I like it Lamprey!

I watched the demo videos and I'm not impressed with ActiveWords at all. Buzz, if you honestly think your programs have the same audience, you're sorely mistaken. Enso is elegant and straightforward. ActiveWords is straightforward and maybe more powerful, but in my opinion, unnecessarily so. Enso : Mac :: ActiveWords : PC is the best way I can describe it.

I'll give it a look. I'm not necessarily interested in a more powerful utility, just something with the elegance of Enso with some slight tweaks. But I'll try out ActiveWords and see if it fits my needs.
