Close the Current File in Visual Studio
Close the Current File in Visual Studio I spend many hours a day working with Visual Studio 2008 and the Office Product. What I most like from the user experience perspective is to have the same shortcuts and key-bindings, no matter which application I am currently using.

How To: Call a Java EE Web Service from a .Net Client
