This is an update I've been meaning to do for some time. This update expands on the initial version in a few ways. Web projects will always be opened in Windows Explorer now, even if the web project was loaded via IIS.
Secondly, the ability to explore an item in Windows Explorer has been added to individual files, solutions, setup projects, and other miscellaneous project types.

MethodInvoker + Anonymous Methods = tEh r0x0r

If you've ever tried to update a property of a windows form control inside a thread other than the original thread that said control was created in, you've probably gotten a nasty little error.
Say, for example, you want to update the text of a Label control. You might simply write:
myLabel.Text = "What a great post";
This will break if the above code is called from another thread. To get around this issue, you need to call the method on the thread that the owns the control's
underlying window handle. This is easily accomplished using the control's Invoke method. But the Invoke method takes a delegate as a parameter, along with an object array of arguments to pass. So now you get to create a delegate and a unique method that accomplishes your task.

Dudes - I know it's been forevs since an upgrade to Clipboard Manager, so last weekend I spent my Saturday on good ol' CM. I added this really cool little animated character to the clip list... so every time you copy something onto your clipboard, he pops up and asks what you want to do. I call him 'Clippy'.
But in all seriousitivity, the cool new addition for Clipboard Manager is the intellisense-like popup of your last 10 clip entries, with the item count configurable.

I found a killer add-in for Media Center running on Vista RC2. Here's the jist:
Written in C#, it runs a few utilities against your DVR-MS files, scouring the video for commercials using a few techniques. The recognized commercial time slots are logged in an XML file and associated w/ the DVR-MS file. When playing the DVR-MS file in Media Center, the commercials are automatically removed - and quite seamlessly in most instances.

New Remote-Overlay View Feature for Dispatch

Last release (0.9.0.58) I added a new feature called String Replacement, which allows you to dynamically change a string in a file when said file is uploaded. This makes it easy to ensure that your web.config settings are tuned for a public scenario (ie. debug="false").
This upcoming release (0.9.0.59) will see a pretty cool feature called Remote-Overlay. This is a view that you can apply to your solution tree and it just overlays the remote file system directly on top of your local solution tree. Pictured below is a solution with only local files displayed.
