I've gathered some interesting links posted only yesterday, so I don't forget (and neither should you). Jamie has a couple of posts related to TestDriven.NET you should be aware of - [TestDriven problem with Building ASP.NET 2.0 Dependencies](https://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/archive/2006/06/06/ASP.NET-2.0-Web-Sites-and-Project-Dependencies.aspx) with workaround - [TestDriven.NET and Vista](https://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/archive/2006/06/05/Running-TestDriven.Net-on-Vista.aspx) - [Justin just posted about "SideKick" for MSBuild](http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/justinangel/archive/2006/06/06/627.aspx) \- UI for editing MSBuild files which takes some of the pain out of editing those darn XML files for MSBuild. I mean, it totally sucks not to have a GUI, and this is currently the best GUI solution for it. [GO download it](http://www.attrice.info/msbuild/index.htm). It's free. - [Edgar points](https://weblogs.asp.net/esanchez/archive/2006/06/06/C_2300_-Expression-Evaluators.aspx) to a full list of a very geeky set articles by [Chuck Jazdzewski](http://www.removingalldoubt.com/) explaining the various patterns and ways there are of implementing an expression evaluator in a language. Meaningless for most of us, but hypnotic if you're an ultra geek. In fact, I suspect most of us have thought about trying to implement one of these at one point or another, and ended up using the VB Scripting control or something of that nature. - [Ohad posts a little part](http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/ohad/archive/2006/06/07/631.aspx) from the very good [Security User Group meeting](http://www.microsoft.com/israel/events/default.aspx?event=securedev) we attended last night by Nimrod Luria. I hope to post some of my notes from that meeting as well. It was a good meeting and I recommend everyone should attend the next meeting as well. ## More in .NET [All posts in .NET](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net) - Jun 11, 2006 ### [Resharper Vs.
