New C# 3.0 Features


I've been training myself in all the new .NET 3.0 stuff and for those of you not aware yet, the extension frameworks (WPF, WCF, WF, & CS) are not the only thing that's new.  There are quite a few language extensions (specially in C#) even aside from the ever-so-popular-now, Linq.  I was going to give a runthrough here of some of them, but I came across a blog posting by David Hayden, an MVP from the Sarasota , FL area, so in the interest of not stealing his thunder and saving myself some fingerwork, here is the link:

Thanks David.

VMWare 6-Beta has a problem with the VS Plug-in


VMWare version 6 beta has a feature that integrates with Visual Studio 2005 debugging.  This seems to have a problem with VS2005 right now.  I'm running Vista but don't know if this is part of it or not.

The message you will see when opening VS2005 involves an error writing to a log file.

If you reinstall VMWare, choose modify, and unselect the option for the VS add-in, you'll be fine.
