Visual Studio Extensibility Demos and Links from today's MSDN WebcastCMAB MSDN Webcast demos from today
Actually, just go to this post, form when I gave it recently. The demos haven't changed.
Thanks for attending!
VS 2005 Beta + VS 2003 Side by Side
Once again, Josh has pointed me towards the solution of getting Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 running side by side with Visual Studio.NET 2003.
In this case, I had a clean Windows XP Pro + SP2 RC2 install, installed VS 2003 + all my add-ins, tools, etc., then installed VS 2005 Beta 1. Whenever trying to debug a Web app after the install, I got:
Unable to start debugging on the web server.”
In the debug window, it outputs:
Auto-attach to process '[3172] aspnet_wp.exe' on machine 'WINXPPRO-VM1' failed. Error code 0x8013134b.
The solution, found on the forums at asp.net was to simply switch the selected runtime from the new ASP.NET tab in the properties for the default web site in IIS.

My New Best Friend - Toshiba Satellite M35
It was time at last to upgrade. I love my tablet, and will continue to use it whenever mobility and flexibility is key. But too often I found myself coding on a postage stamp screen, missing the real estate of my old 15.4” behemoth laptop.
So I went out yesterday and bought a Toshiba Satellite M35-S456. 1.7 GHz Centrino (feels about twice that fast), 80 GB hd, DVD Multi-drive (RW for CD, DVD, and the upcoming dual sided DVDs), 4-5 hour battery life, lots of other nice features. Probably the most striking feature is the screen. 15.4” wide screen with a glossy, bright screen that looks like you are looking at a plasma screen. It is marvelous. I haven't had this clear and bright of a picture on a computer, let alone a laptop, in a long time. All that and only weighs just over 6 pounds. Nice trade between functionality and portability in my mind. All the P4 models sucked the battery like a vaccuum and weighed at least another couple lbs.
I have yet to try any games or DVDs on it, but since it is honed for that kind of thing with the multi-drve and the nVidia G-Force FX, I'm sure that will rock too. For now, I am just reveling in my fastest, brightest, most functional machine yet.

Another reason to like Windows XP SP2
Yet another reason to love Windows XP SP2 and the advanced security measures they took in there. While everyone who has not installed SP2 RC2 yet should be scrambling to install some new security patches that came out today to cover a scary new trojan, XP SP2 express update happily announces - no updates to install.
For those of you who have not made the leap yet in fears of it screwing up your system, I've had RC2 on since it came out without incident. Better to start learning about the things that will get blocked by the security measures now (while being protected) and how to work around them than to wait until it comes out.
Sounds like the release will be next month anyway.
SP2 == good

EMAB Demos from todays MSDN Webcast
If you attended my MSDN Webcast today on the Exception Management Application Block thanks for attending! If you didn't, you suck, but can have the demos anyway. :) Just Kidding!!
Luckily I didn't pass out and my computer didn't explode from the heat since my A/C died yesterday and it is 90 degrees out and probably hotter inside right now! Off to Home Depot to buy some temporary relief until the main unit can be replaced (pronounced DOA by the service tech this morning).
Anyway, here is a link to the demo code. Let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy!
