Some great tools out there
We use some really good development tools and I can highly recommend them to anyone out there building .NET smart clients. Developer Express ( www.devexpress.com ) provide the best UI components that I've ever found. Fully functional UI components that look great and also work like a dream. I can highly recommend them. I can also highly recommend XmlPdf ( www.visualprogramming.com ). Built here in New Zealand, its a very powerful tool for building PDF documents and we use it for all of our PDF reports - some of which are fairly complicated but look great.

Tracking Links
A lot of our customers want to track links, such as www.calcium.co.nz - where the advertised url is also the underlying link. The problem is that this requires us to change the underlying url to be a redirect url - which means that you advertise www.calcium.co.nz to the reader - but they click-through to a completely different url and then get redirected to the target link. This may seem pretty simple - but its also called Phishing and more and more spam filters are on the look out for mis-direction like this because its a pretty obvious case of mis-leading the reader and therefore, it's bad.
