Don't we just love productivity add-ons to Visual Studio. Here's one I've picked up from Devexpress. It's impressive and it's free.
Note that some of these productivity features you will also find in Visual Studio 2010!
It's almost too good to be true. It's impossible to look at these controls and not start salivating :-) They're gorgeous, but, so is the price for us South Africans.
Now, until end of July, if you're an MSDN subscriber you can get these controls for FREE.
Included controls.
Calendar, Carousel, Chart, DatePicker, Gauge, GridView, NumericUpDown, PanelBar, ProgressBar, Scheduler Slider, TabControl, TreeView.
License details.
The Developer License is perpetual and has no deployment limitations – it allows the use of the controls for an unlimited number of applications spanning various servers and domains. The applications you develop with the Telerik WPF controls can be distributed royalty free. The license comes with community support only.

ORM has always been a very popular topic. Come and join in on the workshop - it's going to be hands-on!
This hands-on workshop will cover the theory of how ORM products work and will provide dozens of real world scenarios and best practices for LLBLGen Pro.
