.NET 3.5 Extension Methods Screencast

I've spent some time working with and presenting on extension methods. In this screencast I create three different extensions. One to check if a string is null or empty, a second to release my presentation code from the shackles of System.Console.WriteLine(), and a third that shows how to create your own iterator inside of an extension method.

You can download the file here. You will also need the Camtasia codec which can be downloaded from here. As always, I welcome feedback on my style and content.

i know its not really the topic of the webcast but ... any reason you don't use the String.IsNullOrEmpty method instead of rolling your own Utility

The sole purpose of rolling my own implementation was to create something that people could easily understand. Frankly, when I was looking for ideas to implement my mind kept wandering to the business domain that I was working with during the day. I realized that wasn't optimal demo material and, being a less than creative person, all I could come up with was that idea.
