New RegexSnippets release
I've finally finished testing some new features that I've added to RegexSnippets and, with the assistance of Chad Osgood who has given me a great deal of feedback regarding features and useability issues. Thanks Chad :-)
The next version contains a complete re-write of the underlying architecture since the original version was only ever built as 3 textboxes and a button :-) and was simply extended from there. The main changes that I've integrated into this latest build are:
- Property Grid is now editable
- You can write and "build" C# modules to test code snippets (either from Tools menu or context menu in Pattern Textbox)
- You can hide and show the Property Grid (ctrl+H)
- I've added some accelerators - Toggle Property Grid visibility and set option values
- The font size is now configurable ( Options | Text Size )
- Moved "Online Resources" to Tools
- Added Cut/Copy/Paste to the pattern textbox context menu
Lastly, I completed a small tutorial/readme in the form of an .html file that will ship with this release of the tool that walks a user through using all of the new features. Here's the finished copy of that file:

The new version will be uploaded to GotDotNet user samples today and, hopefully available for download by the end of the week. I'm encouraging users to send me an e-mail via the email address on the Help|About form to be notified *explicitly* when updates are available.
The current version of the tool is available here:
