I had no luck using the BinaryFormatter, I guess I have to have a complete struct that matches the content of the file exactly.

The best I've found is gedit unfortunately. Spend a few hours with it and you'll discover it's not so bad, with plugins and themes. You can use the command line to open documents in it. |

As far as I know, without programmatically generating the CSS file, there's no way to, say, define your favorite shade of blue (#E0EAF1) in one and only one spot.
You could pretty easily write a computer program to generate the file. Execute a simple find-and-replace operation and then save as a .css file. |

The most readable, IMO:

Which:

When dealing with indexes, you have to determine what your table is going to be used for.

Variation on @KG, using the milliseconds since EPOCH as the seed for rand? |
I don't understand why you would use a custom control for that, when the builtin ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel does the same thing.
It just adds more complexity, gives you less support, and makes it more difficult for others to work on your app. |

Formatting in Python is done via the [string formatting (`%`) operator](http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html):
