New stuff in longhorn and whidbey [From Wes's blog]
From Wes at http://wesnerm.blogs.com/net_undocumented/, I found the following cool nuggets.
1. Nullable types in C# 2.0l: http://wesnerm.blogs.com/net_undocumented/2004/05/nullable_types.html. This can mean that serialization of value types to XML and back does not have to require values in the value type fields. Excellent!
2. Monad Shell: http://wesnerm.blogs.com/net_undocumented/2004/05/monad_shell.html. Somewhat similar to BeanShell (http://www.beanshell.org/) but not same. Beanshell was for scripting java. Monad is all about writing cooler CLI objects (called commandlets) that can be used by the command processer. BTW: I think its similar to "rundll32" for the managed code.
