To me at least, the Pair class is a very multi-purpose class. So why did Microsoft put it into the System.Web.UI namespace? Is there a reason that my tiny brain cannot comprehend? Thanks. ...
We're contemplating Visual Studio licensing and need to decide whether licenses for Architecture/Database/Test editions are necessary. Does anyone have enough experience with these tools to say whether they are useful? I'd love some specific examples.

Basically I wanted to have a formatting string code for adding the suffix to the day number. So "1 Jan" would be formatted "1st Jan" and "2 Jan" formatted "2nd Jan" etc. This is quite ea...

Microsoft released the source for Oxite, their blogging engine that's intended to help .NET developers learn ASP.NET MVC. They also released the source for the Mix site, which was built with Oxite. Microsoft says that developers can build applications with Oxite, since it has a lot of built-in features like trackbacks, pingbacks, and RS...

For the last 8 years or so I've been making a point to attend PDC. This past year I did not feel that I got nearly as much out of the conference then I have in years past. I think mainly this was because I'm still trying to learn the new technologies introduced during the last PDC, and I felt I spent most of my time searching for good co...

I will begin this question by admitting I am very new to MVC. The design pattern makes sense to me at a high level, but now that I'm exploring ASP.NET MVC, some of the architectural pieces are challenging my preconceived notions. Learning is a good thing. I've been working with Oxite lately as a learning tool written by people at the co...

I've long used cygwin's nm command for all my .lib symbol debugging needs, but recently I thought about referring to it in a SO answer and realized that most Windows developers don't have cygwin installed. So what is the Microsoft equivalent to nm, i.e., what command will list the symbols exported by a .lib file, the undefined symbols i...
