@kdfrawg The combination of this, their insistence on using some horrid Infragistics controls and a bit of money laundering put the place to rest. It's how I wound up where I am now. "I'll pay double what you are making there and you can run things as you see fit" was music to my ears :)

@kdfrawg We spent more time slapping things like Visual Assist on it to overcome shortcomings than actually getting code written. This was okay as we were forced by management to use Visual SourceSafe - The black hole of source code repositories.
