Lunch w/ Chris @ VSLive: If you're in the neighborhood of VSLive! on Thu, Feb. 13th and available for lunch, let me know. I'd love to break bread with a few newsletter subscribers (selected at random). Let me know if you're interested @ mailto:csells@sellsbrothers.com?subject=LunchAtVSLive
Sealed Sucks: The “sealed” keyword in C# leads to all kinds of trouble and should be banned from use. Read why, as well as the controversial aftermath of this statement, @ http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/#sealedSucks
Hosting Windows Forms Controls in COM Control Containers: WinForms Controls implement the interfaces needed to be COM controls, which means that some COM containers beyond IE can be made to host it as such, but only in a completely undocumented and unsupported way. Read how @ http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/01/20/winformshosting.html
.NET Resource Explorer: I wanted a quick view on how resources were being bundled into your assemblies, so I built the .NET Resource Explorer, which exposes both raw manifest resources and packaged typed resources. Explore your resources @ http://www.sellsbrothers.com/tools/#resourceE
