Stumbled across this one the other day... it's a add-in for copying and pasting references between VS projects.

Looking for a sample that implements all of the latest Microsoft technologies in one package.... Including:

Windows Workflow

Windows Presentation Foundation

Windows Communication Foundation

Vista Sidebar Gadgets

Windows PowerShell

Linq

ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions

Mobile Device Development

You can find all of this in the DinnerNow.NET reference application.

I missed the MVP Summit last week to attend WPF training.  I have to admit I was initially pretty disappointed that I was going to spend last week in WPF training, and miss out seeing some old friends at the MVP Summit.  But since I just started with a new client and needed to get up to speed on WPF I decided to forgo the MVP Summit.

It turned out the training was done by Robbie Ingebretsen, who was a Program Manager on the WPF team, responsiable for many of the controls that were built for WPF.  It ended up being a great week of training and I learned alot.  If your interested in WPF training, take a look at Identity Mine where Robbie works.

There is some pretty cool applications being built in WPF.  I really like Denounce... Notescraps is also pretty cool.  You can find a list of applications written in WPF on Channel9.

I got a notice to upgrade my Reflector yesterday... some really cool features have been added.

Check out the Power Point of features.

Looking for some really good WPF examples.  The two that I like the most are Kevin's Bag O Tricks and UnFold (Diagraming Tool).

Spending alot of time in WPF lately... today I ran into something interesting.  There is no Application.ThreadException in the WPF Application object.

It looks like the only other option to catch exceptions at the edge of the application is to use AppDomain.UnhandledException.
