I’m doing some work with TypeMock and I start to love it more and more. For example, how about removing your database completely from your continuous tests? Sure you can do some database testing during the nightly build, but please keep the tests as fast...

Stopwatch snippet
A little snippet that I use from time to time when I need information on how long something takes. Type ‘sw’ (without the quotes) and tab-tab . Installation is easy, just create a file called “sw.snippet” in your %Documents%\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets...

"Add service reference" is disabled
In Visual Studio 2008 you can right-click a project and choose for "Add service reference" to create a proxy class for your web service. WCF preferred, of course. But for some reason, the Visual Studio team disabled it when you're in debug...

Compiling a .NET 3.5 project and running on a .NET 2.0 machine
