.NET format strings rock. These are roughly equivalent to the old-school C-style sprintf() functions, with their %d, etc., symbols. There's some serious power to these strings, however; think PHP's date() function on acid, and for more than just dates.
None of this is likely to be new to all but the greenest of .NET developers (like me), but it's always worth reminding yourself of how great these things are.
