Code snippet file for a property that calls for OnPropertyChanged event

With minimal changes, this snippet will also work for PropertyChanged event. How to use:

1. Save the following contents into a .snippet file
2. Visual Studio -> Tools -> Code Snippets Manager (or Ctrl+K, Ctrl+B)
3. Import, find your file
4. While working on another ViewModel, type in propopc and enjoy

Note to self: while working on the next snippet, if variables don't show up in the result, make sure that they are included in the <Snippet> section

One of the uses for Visual Studio's Output window

I am generating some dummy data for testing every time I build and run a program, and I need to look something up every time. Being a lazy programmer, I was wondering if there is a way in Visual Studio to display something during compile time. I found that if execute this code:

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Then it will be display along with a bunch of other compilation info in the Output Window. Oh, yeah, Output window in Visual Studio is also extremely useful for displaying XAML binding information.
