I usually work using Team Foundation Systems over VPN. And sometimes my VPN access is revoked because I no longer work for a particular client, when this happens my Visual Studio Workspaces is stock there, I can’t reuse the same folder. I’ve been looking into this and found a fairly simple solution from Greg.
- Open the Command Line ( Start -> Run -> cmd)
- Go to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE (or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE for Visual Studio 2005)
- Execute: tf workspaces /remove:workspace
This probably works with Visual Studio 2010, I should update this post whenever I try it!

ASP.NET MVC ships with a few ActionResult but lacks an RSS Feed ActionResult. I required one for a small project at work, so I started looking on the web if there was something interesting before coding my own. Well the googling was successful! I found a nice piece of code by Guy Burstein.
If you need such an ActionResult in your application, I would recommend you to read his article first!

I think this is kind of obvious, but I guess it might not be for everyone because I’ve seen some code where people do not use this! URL Helpers are really easy to setup, it takes only a few minutes and will probably save you a lot of massive Search & Replace in the future!
public static string Image(this UrlHelper helper, string fileName)
{
return helper.Content("~/Content/Images/" + fileName));
}
public static string Stylesheet(this UrlHelper helper, string fileName)
{
return helper.Content("~/Content/Stylesheets/" + fileName);
}
public static string Script(this UrlHelper helper, string fileName)
{
return helper.Content("~/Content/Scripts/" + fileName);
}
So instead of doing this:
<link href="../../../Content/StyleSheets/Main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
You can do this:
<link href="<%= Url.Stylesheet("Main.css")%>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
These are just 3 common examples, you should do the same thing for things you use a lot.
