Development Tools

Posted on November 13, 2005

These are the development tools that I use. I will skip the obvious applications (which are typically the ones you pay for).

Applications:

  • Reflector - Assembly browser and de-compiler for .NET components
  • NDoc - Creates help documentation from XML comments
  • Dependency Walker - Finds dependencies (great for non .Net app development)
  • Process Explorer - Process management utility
  • Resource Hacker - Great for modifying existing dll resources
  • SQL Scripter - Generates scripts of an existing SQL Server database
  • NSIS - Scriptable installer

Addins:

Sites:

  • PInvoke.Net - Converting API calls to managed methods
