Using MSpec runner in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4

Hi Everyone, I'm a big fan of MSpec so naturally I wanted to use is right away with VS2010 as well.

Add XSLT 2 schema to Visual Studio 2010 for intellisense

I'd like to add the XSLT 2 schema to Visual Studio 2010 to provide intellisense. I've added the schema to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas (removing the XSLT 1 schema), but to no avail.

I almost always initially select the depreciated SqlCommand.Parameters.Add instead of the recommended SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue from the IntelliSence menu when I get into a mad typing frenzy...and this annoys the heck out of me.

MVC Authentication through WCF

In learning WCF, I'm a bit confused where to go to figure out how I should be handling user authentication. My MVC 2 app uses an Active Directory Membership Provider and this works and is good, but my MVC app doesn't really do anything but call my WCF services.
