.NetTiers - Probably the best Codesmith n-tier template out there!

I have been watching and using this project for some time now and totally love it.

.NetTiers are CodeSmith templates for object-relational mapping that takes an existing SQLServer database and automatically generates a personnalized Data Tiers application block to use in your .Net applications.

We are changing gears - setting our sights on v1. MS Enterprise Library integration is underway, a product logo has been designed and a domain record registered - things are getting serious :) Come and have a look at http://www.nettiers.com/

Woman seeks arresting bachelors

This raised a smile in the office today....

A woman has come up with a novel use of the Freedom of Information Act - to find out how many eligible bachelors belong to her local police force.

The woman made an anonymous inquiry to Hampshire Constabulary to find out the current number of single officers. She also asked to know their email and home addresses and their promotion and pension prospects. The force declined to give out personal details but revealed there were 2,000 single officers in the county.

Enterprise Library Configuration Tool - Feature Wish List

OK, used it for a while now and have had some "Damn i wish it did this" moments - I therefore thought I would share them with you as and when they happen.

Today's

Recent Configuration FIles
I wish there was list upon the File menu that allowed you to quickly load up recent configuration files....instead of having to navigate half way around the globe in order to load up that config file you were working on 10mins ago.

Feel free to suggest your own...
