Created the JOLT award winning product, Groove Toolkit for VS.NET (http://www.groove.net/PressRelease.cfm?pagename=press_Aug19_2002) that allowed the .NET developer to create fully collaborative and peer-to-peer applications quickly and easily inside of VS.NET. The tool reduced the time required to create a Groove tool from weeks to minutes. I used VSIP with its ATL C++ COM code base together with some pretty innovative use of managed code in C# to create an awesome design tool. This includes manipulation of the Forms Designer in VS.NET.
