Tools [VB]

[TheMinistered]

I thought I would start a thread with a list of useful tools that are available for visual basic.  I guess I will start off with this free "all-in-one" addin: http://www.mztools.com/  it is very useful!

[TheMinistered]

Here is a link to a free install / setup program for visual basic http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

Here is a link to a few things... including  a global hotkey control http://www.merrioncomputing.com/Download/index.htm

Here is a link to a website with way to many tools, some are _very_ powerful, some are just useful... but it's a great site none the less! http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml

Oh and I found this one a couple weeks ago... its basically something that helps you document & print out your source code and they call it PrettyCode.Print http://www.vbcity.com/page.asp?p=pcp_index

Here is a page of (links) tools, in which some of the above are listed, http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/Add-Ins/

This site:
http://www.di-mgt.com.au/crypto.html
Has some freeware DLLs for strong encryption methods like BLOWFISH, DES, SHA-256 etc.

This Site:

Has some nice tools... I personally have found it quite useful, despite the fact it is quite pricey.

Oh and for those of you who want to print your cpp code, here is another site just for that:

Nobody prints their VB source code.  When I do, it is usually to have a meeting with other people on the project and discuss an important algorithm.  It's just as fast to open Word, set font to Courier New 9, paste the source code of interest, then print in landscape mode.

-Formats code into html for you (Looks Good) I've used it twice already!

IIRC, you can just copy (as in Ctrl-A Ctrl-C) your code from the VB IDE, then pasting it in a RichEdit preserves formatting. You can paste it in MS Word, then save it as HTML.

Word => ++Crappy HTML

[Yoni]

I agree. But it's the fastest way I know of.

[TheMinistered]

Faster than copying your source code (Ctrl-A Ctrl-C) then pasting in a input box on a website, clicking a button, and having html generated for you?

theministered does have a point, seeing as you get to immediatly view it as an html page, whereass you would have to go out of ur way to view the word document as an html page even if u just saved it, therefore the website thingy is quicker.
