Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now

Scott Hanselman pointed his viewers to a good msdn article that points out 10 of the great cornerstone .net utilities and how to use them.

[Here's the article]

The article discusses:

  • NUnit to write unit tests
  • NDoc to create code documentation
  • NAnt to build your solutions
  • CodeSmith to generate code
  • FxCop to police your code
  • Snippet Compiler to compile small bits of code
  • Two different switcher tools, the ASP.NET Version Switcher and the Visual Studio .NET Project Converter
  • Regulator to build regular expressions
  • .NET Reflector to examine assemblies

Note: Scott has his own giant list of utilities he uses regularly - many of which I have never heard of.
