.NET Data Annotations...Integer?

Problem
As I was developing my C# classes I ran into a problem, I couldn't find Integer in the datatype for data annotations.  Hey Microsoft...why not?

Solution
I came across a a library that provided more than I needed, but hey sometimes that 's a great thing and in this case it was.  Data Annotation Extensions to the rescue!  The library can be found here.  Turns out to solve my problem I now can use Integer using this library!

Conclusion
Hopefully finding this gem will help others as it did me.  I am very happy with the library.  If you have a better suggestion or easier way to do other types of data annotations in C#, please comment.

Client-Side Prototyping Using jsFiddle

Problem
I have been spending a lot of sleepless hours working on my web projects and man am I exhausted.  Lately my focus has been on the client side of web applications.  My problem is that it takes a lot of pieces of code, HTML, CSS, jQuery, jQuery UI, AJAX and graphics to bring life to the client side.  How can I prototype quickly and see results fast?

Solution
I have discovered jsFiddle.  jsFiddle allows me to provide HTML, JavaScript and CSS all in one place to mess with quickly.  It also allows you to plug in external resources and hookup client side frameworks like jQuery and jQuery UI.  jsFiddle to the rescue!  You can find it here.

Give it a whirl for yourself and trust me it's worth the time to figure it our and use it when you need to get up and running with prototyping.  Hey, and maybe someday you will be sharing the site with your friends like I have.

Conclusion
I am impressed.  The developer community today is amazing!  I have to hand it to my fellow developers for creating such a fantastic tool online.  I did see another tool, jsBin, but liked jsFiddler better.  If you have a better suggestion or easier way to do the prototype client side development, please comment.
