    I'm curious, how many actually use any or all of the following set of tools (that I personally find that they make my life as a programmer infinitely easier) 1. NUnit 2. NMock 3. NAnt 4. Doxygen 5. Snippet Compiler 6. FxCop/StyleCop 7. Programmers Notepad/ Notepad++ 8. Liquid XML Studio (recent discovery with my infinite thanks to Rex!) 9. Regulator Do you have or use other tools that make your life easier? Do use alternatives? I forgot to mention Regulator!

    1. Nunit (also wrote a nice report app to display the xml result file) 3. we use Red Gate's Ant profiler (with VS plugin) 6. FxCop Also, we use: Enterprise Architect (required by project) NCover Explorer ToDoList (yes, from code project) We also have a nice wrapper app around the Zed Graph engine (from code project) because we do a lot of data analysis.

      Without a doubt! :cool: Add AnkhSVN to that as well though I feel Tortoise is far superior.

        Out of your list: 1. Nunit 7. Notepad++ Further: - GhostDoc - Beyond compare (you can easily configure subversion to use bc as diff viewer). - Sandcastle - Occasionally Expresso

          Here's the ones I use most often, in no particular order: 1. NUnit (we use it for testig native code, believe it or not!) 2. CruiseControl.NET 3. SourceMonitor 4. Include Manager 5. Memory Validator 6. Visual Lint + PC-lint 7. ResOrg 8. Doxygen 9. Notepad2 10. XMLPad 11. Visual Assist 12. WinMerge 13. Winspector Spy 14. SourceVersioner (got an article to write on this one...it's a solution/project versioning tool) 15. IncrediBuild 16. Axialis Icon Workshop WinCHM is likely to be added to the list shortly; I'm evaluating it at the moment, and so far it looks good.

            You mostly work on C++ right? How did you get NUnit to work? I'm genuinely curious.

              Nothing from your list, although I was using Doxygen before and miss it now. Anyway, from the top of my head: - vim - SourceInsight - Beyond Compare 2 - Visual Studio (for debugging only) - various in-house tools for source control and bug tracking

                I use none of those at all. I find these extremely useful: - Development on a virtual machine - Subversion - Expresso - Reflector

                  1. NUnit (Yes) 2. NMock (MoQ) 3. NAnt (Yes) 4. Doxygen (Visio, Excel, Word & Textpad for docs. No code docs other than VS tooltips.) 5. Snippet Compiler (??) 6. FxCop/StyleCop (ReSharper for code formatting, no FxCop yet) 7. Programmers Notepad/ Notepad++ (Textpad, notepad++ has annoying syntax hilighting) 8. Liquid XML Studio (recent discovery with my infinite thanks to Rex!) (VS2008 or Textpad for XML editing) 9. Regulator (??) 10. CruiseControl.NET 11. ReSharper 12. Subversion Server 13. TortoiseSVN 14. AnkhSVN 15. Beyond Compare 2 16. Red Gate SQL Tools 16. A custom DB tool for change management 17. Database Publishing Wizard 18.

                    My tools include: Notepad++ Visual Assist Subversion (TortoiseSVN/AnkhSVN) FreeMind Doxygen InnoSetup Visual Build Boost (not sure this counts as a tool) In the last few months Notepad++ replaced UltraEdit, Subversion replaced CVS and InnoSetup replaced Wise.

                            I do indeed. :cool: It's not too difficult really...all you need to do is write the tests in either C+/CLI or (if you're feeling a little masochistic) MC++. The Managed C++ code can link directly to native libraries (static or DLL) and use them in the same way as a native test harness. It can be a little fiddly to get the linker settings right (particularly when testing MFC code) but as most of our code is ATL/WTL rather than MFC that's not usually too much of an issue here.

                                    1. NUnit (Yes) 2. NMock (MoQ) 3. NAnt (Yes) 4. Doxygen (Visio, Excel, Word & Textpad for docs. No code docs other than VS tooltips.) 5. Snippet Compiler (??) 6. FxCop/StyleCop (ReSharper for code formatting, no FxCop yet) 7. Programmers Notepad/ Notepad++ (Textpad, notepad++ has annoying syntax hilighting) 8. Liquid XML Studio (recent discovery with my infinite thanks to Rex!) (VS2008 or Textpad for XML editing) 9. Regulator (??) 10. CruiseControl.NET 11. ReSharper 12. Subversion Server 13. TortoiseSVN 14. AnkhSVN 15. Beyond Compare 2 16. Red Gate SQL Tools 16. A custom DB tool for change management 17. Database Publishing Wizard 18. TestTrack BTW setting up a new development machine is a PITA

                                    I'm not familiar with the technology, myself. But, ghosting or imaging a ready machine seems like a good idea for you.

                                      I'm curious, how many actually use any or all of the following set of tools (that I personally find that they make my life as a programmer infinitely easier) 1. NUnit 2. NMock 3. NAnt 4. Doxygen 5. Snippet Compiler 6. FxCop/StyleCop 7. Programmers Notepad/ Notepad++ 8. Liquid XML Studio (recent discovery with my infinite thanks to Rex!) 9. Regulator Do you have or use other tools that make your life easier? Do use alternatives? I forgot to mention Regulator!

                                        It´s not a programming tool, it takes a while to learn your preferences, but it has saved me lots of time of Start Menu wandering...Launchy http://www.launchy.net/[^]

                                        My favourite tool of the last year or so. Can't live without it now. :)
