.NET Developer Tools

Monday, Jul. 26 2004 | Author: milbertus

While I have heard of all of the tools from this article before, it never hurts to make sure that you know about (and use) as many tools as you can. It never hurts to be too productive.

Of the tools listed in the article, CodeSmith, SnippetCompiler, and Reflector are my favorites. Since I’ve been doing quite a bit of .NET development at work as of late, I can’t think of a day that went by without using either the SnippetCompiler or Reflector. Both are invaluable tools that any .NET developer really should have in their toolbox. If you don’t, you’re just hurting yourself.

As for CodeSmith, I haven’t used it much yet, but I think that’s only because I haven’t properly integrated it into my workflow. For more on it, see my previous post.

One Response for ".NET Developer Tools"

We are Clarion shop and are considering switching over to VS.NET for future development. We have grown accustomed to the Clarion environment, which is a template based system that allows us to concentrate on the overall system/application design rather than have to worry about the details of the coding. When considering this changeover, we would like to leverage a tool that has the capabilities of generating 90% of the code, which handles the mundane tasks (file I/O, data validation, etc.) and allow us to concentrate our efforts on business rules, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tool that provides this capability? Also, it would have to support browser and windows application development…

Thanks in advance,

Steve
