Magic GUIDs, ReSharper and more...

Here are some tricks I discovered today:

• Magic GUIDs: Creating unit tests in Visual Studio is quite easy when you are doing it 'the right way'. But sometimes when I want to write tests first and create a new project for them I mistakenly choose the class library project type instead of a unit test project. However these are two different project types so when I try to run my tests from the class library project the Visual Studio won't find them. Fortunately you can convert an existing visual studio class library project to unit tests project: http://blog.drorhelper.com/2008/12/how-to-convert-net-class-library-to-ms.html
• ReSharper: There is a great new feature in ReSharper 5.0 called value tracking.
• Another nice ReSharper feature useful when you want to restructure you code: Move code elements up and down: [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Shift]+[Up|Down]. You can move single lines but also entire methods.
• Sourcemaking: A website with lots of stuff about design pattern, antipatterns and refactoring: http://sourcemaking.com/
