Aaah, Ctrl+F5 works! Now I can see my dog.
You're not gonna believe this- when I was typing this post the first time, I typed in "Ctrl" and then instead of typing "F5", I hit F5  . Had to type it again. Maybe I'm too  ( way past 12 midnight here).

This month we're thinking of doing something a little different for the article competition. We'd like to do something akin to our screensaver competition a while ago, but for this time around we're thinking of a comp for the best Visual Studio .NET add-in.
We'd like to have it focussed a little: It must be configurable via an XML file stored on a remote server. It must be viewable always (ie fit in a docking toolbar or a menu item or whatever), and, of course, it must work with VS.NET. The prize haul will include a copy of VS.NET 2003.
What we will try and do is announce the competition 'projects' a couple of months in advance so you have time to prepare.
Your time starts: Now!
cheers,
Chris Maunder

It means that users don't have to download and install updates manually, but instead have those updates appear whenever you are next online. It's the same way the VS.NET Start Page operates.

Nice idea. But I can't participate as I don't have VS .NET. Oh well...

It's another Catch-22. You can't win a copy of VS.Net unless you have a copy... "Oh well, What the hell..."

This is a problem, I realise, but I'm going to try and get VS.NET 2003 Enterprise to make it worthwhile for those with VS.NET Pro (or VS.NET 2002).

Not a problem, Chris - I'm just being facetious. I couldn't afford VS.Net when it was available for $199 (Upgrade); now that the upgrade is no longer available, it's likely to be out of reach forever. Fortunately, I like VS6.

Maybe when my favorite open-source app, SharpDevelop[^], comes of age (i.e. v1.0 is released) you can start using it. (I'm using it right now, but there are some problems.)

Looks nice! I'll keep a watch on it, but be sure to post a notice about it when you think it's ready for prime time!

Do you want me to send you a status report right now? I'll be glad to.
And yes, I'll let the CPians know when it's up to par.

Why not download the 30-day trial for VS 2003, develop the control for the contest, then win the real thing!

Good sig!
In my opinion, both are responsible, but of course if someone intervened whenever someone did evil, they wouldn't get away with it. I wish people would think about this and then act on it (by doing all that's in their power to stop the evil they see).

Rest assured, you already have tons of articles ready for the June competition where the name of the game is to write the shortest article. There are already a couple of them with code in the artitle title. (or may be you've activated that x100 ASP.NET compression engine, who knows?).
