Top 10 Must-Have .NET Tools Every Developer Should Download Now

In the latest issue of MSDN magazine there is an article titled “Top 10 Must-Have .NET Tools Every Developer Should Download Now“.  Here is a list of the tools:
  • NUnit to write unit tests
  • NDoc to create code documentation
  • NAnt to build your solutions
  • CodeSmith to generate code (Wahoo!  CodeSmith made the list!)
  • FxCop to police your code
  • Snippet Compiler to compile small bits of code
  • Two different switcher tools, the ASP.NET Version Switcher and the Visual Studio .NET Project Converter
  • Regulator to build regular expressions
  • .NET Reflector to examine assemblies


    • Here is a link to the online version of this article:

    I missed CodeRush on the list. I haven't used it yet, but heard a lot about it during TechEd 2004 (through blogsphere, of course)

    I like the list. The only disagreement is NAnt, which is just an inappropriate solution adopted from the Java world. MSBuild will likely obsolete it.
