Power Toys for VS.NET 2003

This was posted to the DOTNET-CLR list this morning. MS has released some Power Toys for VS.NET 2003. There are two that jump out at me as extremely useful:

  • Custom Help Builder: Enables you to integrate your XML comment documentation into the IDE so that it comes up with F1, Dynamic Help, etc.
  • VBComments: Yup, you guessed it! VB.NET people can rejoice at having support for XML comments in their favorite language.

Anyway, be sure to check them out. Naturally they're unsupported, but that shouldn't be a problem for most people. Also, some of them come with source code so you can learn how they integrated with the IDE and even make modifications if you like.

Update: Just noticed this entry about the VBComments Power Toy being a little flakey. Once again, use at your own risk.
