C# favorite, must have tools...

I was recently going over our MSDN developer center page at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp and happened to stop by the tools page at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/team/tools/default.aspx

I was considering how to update it, when I thought I would ask the community instead - are there new tools that you use, that arent on this page, that you think should be?

Send us some feedback...

Shaykat,

check out the 'del' command. it is extremly helpful in 'repairing' the c# intellisense every so often, because one can easily delete all those offending obj, sbr etc. files with it.

also 'reboot.exe' is helpful for unlocking those dlls that are locked by the c# ide.

oh, and theres 'restore'. you can use it to restore backups after the c# forms editor has garbled up the source to the form.

unfortunately, even after 2 years, there's still no 'servicepack.exe' that makes these cool tools obsolete.

There are a bunch of cool tools and some nice little apps like blog reader that plugs into VS and so on.

I think VG.net should be there, for people that create animated graphics.
