Three Approaches To Coding Avalon Applications

Rob Relyea just posted up a little piece that details the three different approaches developers can take to code their Avalon applications.

Build PDB Information For Release Builds Using An Upgraded nAnt Solution Task

I’m sure we all know the advantages of having PDB information for our release builds by now, right? Well nAnt’s <solution> task doesn’t support this today because it only supports the same features as VS.NET which only use the compiler’s /debug switch with the +|- options. The .NET 1.1 version of the managed code compilers […]

Thoughts on VS.NET 2005 Class Designer’s Code-Formatting

A Rebuttal Of Mr. Grimes’ Avalon -> Win32 Ties Accusation

I’m sure we’ve all seen Richard’s commentary on the state of .NET as well as Dan Fernandez’s rebuttal. If not, go read those first. Since the subject has already been talked to death from the .NET framework perspective, the only thing that I wanted to address is the assertion that Richard makes in his follow up comment […]
