VS2008: Autogenerated files and XML documentation

VSTS 2010 Debug Feature
I heard of a feature supposedly included in VSTS 2010, but now I can't find any mention of it.

T4 Template to generate first cut of GUI (aspx) derived from database?
I'm wondering if anyone has come across any existing T4 templates to reverse engineer a database into a first cut at an ASPX GUI.

As a simple example, for each table in the database, create som...

Is there any way to get Delphi to read other debug formats?
When I'm debugging something in Delphi and there's a system library in the stack trace, I've got the name of the library and the function that's being called into.
