IE Developer Bar for debugging Javascript/css etc

Nice new tool from, yes this time Microsoft itselft apart from the debugbar that is also very good.

The Microsoft Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar provides a variety of tools for quickly creating, understanding, and troubleshooting Web pages.

IE Developer Bar

Great help to UI developers.

Automatic Property in .Net 3.0

Class Sample
{


Private int m_UserId;

Public int UserId
{
get{ return m_UserId; }
set{ m_UserId = value; }
}


}


Now the new .Net 3.0 approach is

Class Sample
{

Public int UserId
{
get;
set;
}

}

Saves few lines of regular code and you can change the scope of get or set to make the property read only etc.

Default values for reference types are going to be null and value types to be according to the normal behaviour of .Net.

strGuid = "your existing guid in string format";
Guid guid = new Guid(strGuid);
