Timestamp Your Assembly Version
Recently Jimmy Bogard (@bogardj) blogged about a simple, but very effective versioning strategy for .Net assemblies. I thought I’d show you how I implemented that for a project I’m working on.

FindParent Extension Method for Web Controls
This is another one of those tiny bits of code that I’ve written too many times and I don’t want to waste my time thinking about again. It’s simple, but I’m bored of writing it.

NeverNull – because we can’t extend the ?? operator
This morning @JeffHandley tweeted this http://www.forkcan.com/viewcode/277/Null-Dot-Operator-Extension-Method essentially the idea is that you can call your code and apply default options.
