Code Formatting with Visual Studio 2005

Jay just showed me a really cool productivity tip in VS.NET 2005.  In our project, the client likes the open brace { on the same line as the class, method, and code block.  By default, VS.NET 2005 will place the open brace on its own line. 

Configuring VS.NET 2005 to go along with the client's formatting method was a cinch.  Just change the new formatting settings under Tools/Options like so:



Now I can just hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-K, then Ctrl-F to format the current code file with the new formatting.  I wonder if I can apply this formatting style to all the c# files in the solution in one swell swoop.

Visual Studio Comic Strip Ads

While reading an article with the title "If Microsoft Never Existed...", I saw a flash ad that caught my eye.  The ad's theme is about how Visual Studio can increase productivy presented a creative comic strip.  I think it's a cool and effective way to advertise to developers like myself. 

Below are some snapshots of the comic strip ad.  If you want to see the ad in action, click on the article link above.  There are several comic strip ads about Visual Studio as well as other ads so you might have to hit reload a few times to see this specific ad.









What do you think about these Visual Studio comic strip ads?
