I was having a chat with David Sceppa about TableAdapters recently when he mentioned that in the final VS 2005 bits, the TableAdapters will use timestamp fields for concurrency.  I told him flatly I didn't think it worked, but I was wrong.  If you create a Table in a Typed DataSet in VS 2005 and include the timestamp field in the select statement, it will use the timestamp field for concurrency.  Awesome!

I have built a test-vista machine to do some WinFX stuff on and it got me wondering...why do I need to run the WinFX runtime installation on Vista? Isn't this supposed to be pre-installed?  Aren't some built-in Vista apps already using WinFX?  I am so confused.  Anyone know?

I've been scratching my head at the ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView control.  This control is meant to show a tree of items and each item can have a link to it.  For example, this is what I use for my menu on the left of the page.

I've been using ActiveWin.com (and their XBox companion site) for years to get new information about Microsoft on a daily basis, but their draconian use of pop-unders on every page request has finally gotten the better of me.  I am boycotting their site.
