Programming .Net tip (re:admin pak)

Maybe administration tip is a better category.

Use AdminPack for Windows Server 2003 to manage the MMC Console. My biggest timesaver is the ability to add a bunch of Remote Connections to the Remote Desktop node of the console. It saves my user id and password so I can get into any server I saved on this list with one click.

2 Cool things in programming (Nullables and CopyPath)

Google for "Copy Path Shell Extension" and likely the product by "BJB, Inc" will show up. This thing copies the path of a file to the clipboard. Useful in a command line world.

After the Richmond Code Camp, I now know about using "?" in variable declarations. This creates a NULLABLE data type of the type you want. Very useful for database applications.
