I've been rooting around the Windows.Forms data-binding. This is the best link I've found on it. Chris Sells's book, Windows Forms Programming in C#, also has a good chapter on it. I'll assume they've fixed the bugs in .NET 2.0 since they're extending the data source picture to include an object data source class.
In the Johnny-come-lately department, I noticed that the MSAvalon namespace is gone from the Longhorn SDK documentation and replaced with System.Windows. Very nice. Given that Windows.Forms data-binding is less than shiny, I wanted to see what direction Avalon was taking. Take a look at the System.Windows.Data namespace. They even have some User Guide text written!
This was posted a couple days ago by Chris Sells, but it is not to be missed:
It turns out that the add-in model for Reflector 4.0 is so powerful that it enabled Denis Bauer to build an add-in that leverages the built-in R4 disassembler to disassembly an entire assembly into source code files. Very handy for curling up on a sunny afternoon with a chuck of source from your favorite assembly, a cigar and a single malt Scotch.
Being one that had to recover code this way when I accidentally deleted a source file, I'm glad this is now available! Don't delay! Get the goods here.
The Register reports that the-technology-formally-known-as-Palladium, NGSCB, is not scheduled to be released with Longhorn, supposedly due to Managed API problems. It's important to note, however that the hardware side of the picture, TCPA, is moving forward.
