Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dll (hmm...)

[Daniel Pratt]

Is this interesting (to anyone besides me)?

I stumbled across this file (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dll) in the bin
directory of my .NET SDK install. Pointing ILDASM at it revealed some very
interesting stuff (to me, anyway). There's parsers and tokenizers and
designers, oh my! There's even something called DataSetCool (along side
DataSetCSharp, DataSetVB, etc; it appears to be a "holdover" from...).

I've been able to successfully use at least one object in this assembly
(the only one I've tried so far -- CSharpTokenizer).

Regards,
Dan

The DataSetCool Extends DataSetCSharp...

What this means I have no idea
