I was trying to create a web part with WSPBuilder installed on Visual Studio 2008, but had the problem of rendering a user control. Then I came across this blog post, which explains the steps in wrapping usercontrol with WSPBuilder solution. What's even greater is we can setup a structure which seperates the application presentation layer with the WSP project.
I have been digging into SharePoint for awhile now and it seems to be more and more interesting and challenging, considering I already have experiences with so many different Content Management Systems. Suprisingly, SharePoint seems to work very similar to Helium, so that eased my process of going in and out of Sharepoint.

Have been playing a lot with a number of WYSIWYG text editors, such as RadEditor and many other free ones, but the one that I liked the most would be FCKEditor, which is open source editor, written in Javascripts and support a wide number of languages like PHP, ASP, JAVA, .NET, CFM, etc. It's extremely easy to integrate, especially in .NET
A very handy tool to compress the annoying webresources.axd script.

Enterprise Library is a very useful component developed by Microsoft to help developers solving many common tasks. One that I use a lot is the data access block, which allows you to run data access query in just one line of code! (Saves all the work in writing a command and pass to a reader, etc).
Telerik's RadUpload control doesn't come with many documentation. The default comes with multiple file slots, with add and delete button but sometimes we might only need just one uploader.
Sometimes, somehow Telerik controls might suddenly not appear in Visual Studio's toolbox. A quick solution would be mouse hover to toolbox, add a new tab, and then choose items. Then point to the Telerik bin file (Telerik.Web.UI) and that should populate all controls into the toolbox.
