I do like the generics, but sometimes I think Microsoft have tried to simplyfy them to much. They've made it to hard to do the odd things. An example; recently
I was working with a list of name value pairs, so I used a Dictionary:
 Dictionary<string, object>
Everything was going fine, until I realised that in a default situation I needed the first value; regardless of name. I ended up writting a function looking
something like:
private object GetValue()
{
 foreach (KeyValuePair<string,object> item in Values)
 {
  return item.Value;
 }
 return null
}

What I would have prefered to do was something like:
 return values[values.Keys[0]]

Have really got to fix the snippits, so many things depending on them. I wonder if a simply re-install will do it...

Seems you can check in on the Saturday now, and there's some sort of keynote on the Sunday.
