Server Explorer On Steroids#

As you can see they've added a whole bunch of things in the "Server Explorer" window in Visual Studio .NET (Whidbey): basically all your operating system objects are there (processes, treads, accounts, shares, ...). So I guess if you can get to it through WMI then you can find it here. So what used to be a separate download (the WMI Extensions) is now built-in and accessible right from your IDE!

Pop quiz: what's missing in this picture? Yep. The SQL Server plugin. Fortunately, you can still do most of the things you need (editing stored procedures, looking at table definitions, running ad hoc queries) after creating a Data Connection but I must say I panicked for a second there :-) But I'm sure it'll be back when the beta ships...

Now let's hope they fixed that ugly memory protection error I get when trying to browse a table (as I said, most of the things...).

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
