Enhancing C# skill

Hi, I am working in the language for quite sometime. But the nature of the projects are more or less the same. i used c# mostly for db with ms sql server.

But now I want to develop some applications (small would be preferable) so that I could enhance more and more c# skills and tricks. but I couldn't find a place for project scopes of new sort.
Can anybody tell me some way to get some different nature project(if not a db its ok as well) so that I could add a lot to my portfolio.
Thanx

Hi,

By the sound of it you have one tried and tested method of developing, try to re-create your current solutions using different design methodologies like MVC or other technologies such as linq and WPF.

I found this site which contains a couple of interesting challenges that will test your problem solving skills.

Hope this keeps you challenged :)
