  • VS2005 Add-in: Solution Search

    I finally got tired of having to hunt around for methods and properties in a large VS2005 solution and wrote an add-in to help out.   The add-in allows you to type in a portion of a class, method, or property name, and then navigate directly to that file.  In the case of a method or…

  • NHibernate Performance

    Rob Hurlbut sent me a link to a post on Jeffrey Palermo’s blog referencing my Channel9 NHibernate interview.  I think Jeffrey really nailed the NHibernate performance meme with this quote: What performance do they really need?  Now, NHibernate is NOT slow, but  if you need to go 400 MPH instead of a measley 397MPH, then you…

  • Resharper vs. CodeRush for VS2005

    I was introduced to ReSharper sometime last year and it became an indispensable tool for me.  Then VS2005 came out and — ARRGH! — ReSharper doesn’t have support for 2005.  Only VS2003.  They’ve been working on the 2005 version for months and the beta builds are still pretty awful.  I’m doing a lot of development…
