I want to thank the teams at Microsoft who design the software I use daily.  I would not be as far as I am without the useful error messages I get back when designing my ASP.NET pages.  Here's a quick sample: I was adding a Stored Procedure today and I forgot to set a variable in the stored procedure as output.  If I had no error message I would have probably assumed it was the code I just wrote to called the stored procedure instead of the procedure itself.  With the error message below the problem was fixed in far less time than it took to write this small post.

Formal parameter '@RowCount' was defined as OUTPUT but the actual parameter not declared OUTPUT

So thank you Microsoft developers.  You truly make my life easier.
