I feel that sometimes the presenter’s development tools that they’re using has been overlooked in screencasts, or other tutorials that I read, so, I thought I’d get it out of the way right now.
For my day to day development, I use the following common tools/addins to help speed up my coding time:
- ReSharper 4.5
- From adding using statements automatically, to easily renaming/moving a class file to match the current class’s name in code, or changing the name space to reflect its current folder position, this tool has saved me so much time and hassle. It truly is worth a look.
- GhostDoc
- This little Visual Studio addin can easily add comments to your methods when a generic comment will work. I tend to like 100% coverage when it comes to comments, and this does the dirty work for me when I want to comment the mundane methods, such as GetClient(int id), etc
- TestDriven.Net
- A great addon for assisting in running your test framework on your code. You do write unit tests for your code, right? ;-)
I’ll be sure to touch on other tools/addins as I come across them.
