.NET Stuff

MSNMangler [download]
This is a somewhat silly tool that you can use to occasionally update your MSN Instant Messenger name.  It uses a "provide" infrastructure allowing you to write code to hand strings to it to incorporate into your screen name.  It comes with two example providers - one which uses the name of the topmost window and one which scrapes the currently playing song out of WinAMP. Simon Fell liked it enough that he built a WinAmp extension to do the same thing.

The dm.NET moniker [more]
Don Box and I whipped this up one afternoon to allow COM objects to bind to managed objects, like this:

Set stack = GetObject("dm.net:['mscorlib']System.Collections.Stack")
stack.Push ".NET"
stack.Push "Hello "
MsgBox stack.Pop & stack.Pop
