. NET developers should download ten essential tools

 
NUnit: a unit test tool.
NDoc: a tool for creating code documents
NAnt: A solution generation tool
CodeSmith: code generation tool
FxCop: Code police used to monitor code
Snippet Compiler: small code Snippet compilation tool
Two different Converter tools: ASP. NET Version Converter (Version Switcher) and Visual Studio. NET Project Converter (Project Converter)
Regulator: regular expression generation tool
. NET Reflector: Assembly analysis check tool
The following technologies are used:. NET, C #, Visual Basic. NET, and Visual Studio. NET.
Unless you use the best available tools, do not expect to generate first-class applications. In addition to large tools such as Visual Studio. NET, you can also get many small and unknown tools from the. NET community. In this article, I will introduce you to several of the best free tools available for. NET development. I will guide you through a quick tutorial on how to use each tool-some tools can save you time in many occasions, while other tools may completely change the way you write code. Because I want to introduce so many different tools in this article, I cannot discuss each tool in detail, but you should fully understand the information of each tool, to determine which tools are useful to your project.
Snippet Compiler
Snippet Compiler is a Windows-based small application that allows you to write, compile, and run code. This tool is useful if you have a small code segment and you do not want to create a complete Visual Studio. NET project (and all files attached to the project.
For example, suppose I want to show you how to start another application from the Microsoft. NET Framework. In Snippet Compiler, I will start by creating a file that can create a small console application. You can create code snippets in the Main method of the console application, which is exactly what I want to do here. The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a notepad instance from the. NET Framework: System. Diagnostics. Process proc = new System. Diagnostics. Process ();
Proc. StartInfo. FileName = "notepad.exe ";
