All about the Microsoft way

I just started working on several programming projects that are using Microsoft technologies. This is different for me as I have come from programming on a UNIX and Linux environment. I'm trying to use as many best practices that I know about and learn how to do thing in the "approved" way. So I thought I'd write about this and other Microsoft and Windows related things from this perspective.

Previously I have typically used vim and eclipse as my primary editors. Here is what I'm trying to use in the Microsoft world.
