Intellisense for the NHibernate XML Schemas
I saw Chris Bowen speak at Microsoft in Waltham, MA last week and he tipped me off to a (new?) feature in Visual Studio 2005. In Visual Studio 2005, you can make the IDE detect custom XML schemas and then let you do intellisense. That got me thinking about how to set that up for NHibernate. A…

Lately I’ve been talking to potential clients, trying to drum up some business for Q4 and I’ve been surprised by how many questions I’ve gotten about NHibernate.
