Inside ASP.NET WebMatrix: Wrox wastes no time in releasing (online, free) a book full of screenshots of ASP.NET WebMatrix... [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog]

SVG.NET Viewer. Fixed some of the missing stuff and made a few bugfixes tonight. The viewer now passes the following tests in the SVG test suite:some structure testsmost coordinate system, transformation and units testsall paths testsall basic shapes testa few color testshey, it's slowly getting there. A few more things and it's ready for a 0.1 release. [protocol7]

Woah, is this exactly what it sounds like... an SVG viewer written in .NET? I searched the rest of the protocol7 site, but could not find anymore details about the project.

I'm either the first or the last one to notice - TPFKAS (The Project Formerly Known As Saturn) has been released some days ago:

New! Free ASP.NET Web Development Tool

The Microsoft ASP.NET Web Matrix Project is now available as a free download. Web Matrix is a community-supported, easy-to-use development tool for building ASP.NET Web applications.   Download and learn about ASP.NET Web Matrix today! [Ingo Rammer's DotNetCentric]

Cool, congrats to the team! Here's a direct link to some geek stats for the project.

Can someone explain to me what this guy's talking about? C# may not have background compilation like VB.NET does, but we sure do have intellisense. I have no such problems with intellisense here.

I needed to profile some code last night and was surprised to discover that profiling is not supported by VS.NET. A quick search on Google brought up the Compuware profiler. The "Community Edition" is a free download and seems to work well. It integrates with VS.NET and is easy to use (screenshot). [Cook Computing]

There's another really nice one that I know of called AQTime. You can download and try the Enterprise Edition free for thirty days. After that it's $349 for standard edition ($229 if you were a AQTime v2 user) and $599 for enterprise edition. A bit pricy for the individual perhaps, but for a corporation that should be reasonable.

Noticed an excellent article on the .NET section of the MSDN site that never made it to the front page: Programming the Thread Pool in the .NET Framework
