Third Helping: Visual Studio Tip of the Day Windows Sidebar Gadget! - #095

Hey, you know you went back for a third helping at thanksgiving (unless you are my uncle jimmy, who gets 4ths and 5ths on their first pass).  So what could follow a Tip of the Day Browser?

How's about a Tip of the Day Windows Sidebar Gadget!  Special thanks to Rob Caron for making this happen.  I didn't write the gadget... i just supplied the content =P

Hope you all enjoyed your extra servings Turkey Day specials (a week late, but we are all still eating left-overs.)

Thanks for the great tips!

You know, I thought there was going a "quick file or class open" feature in VS2008, a la Resharper - if so I can't find it.

Perhaps your next tip could be about how to quickly find/open a file without having to drill down thru Solution Explorer?

Thanks!
