New Snippet Compiler

Snippet Compiler v1.10 is now available.  Thanks to all of the nice people that sent in suggestions, bugs, etc!

  • Added the ability to force the compiled snippet(s) to use a legacy runtime and Framework assemblies
  • Added C# compiler option "Allow unsafe code blocks" 
  • Added tooltip for errors/warnings in code 
  • Added syntax definition files so the user can change them manually 
  • Added Saved Snippets folder 
    • Now, when a user tries to save a file that was opened as a template (from the New menu), the file is not saved automatically in the Templates folder; the Save As dialog is shown with the Saved Snippets folder as the initial folder
    • The user may still save a file as a template, but must manually navigate to the templates folder to save
    • All files/folders in the Saved Snippets folder are shown in the Open menu
    • The Saved Snippets folder can be changed by the user in the Options dialog 
  • Added a proper References dialog 
  • XML documentation (which drives the verbose IntelliSense descriptions) is now loaded for every referenced assembly if it is available
  • Added some helper methods to the default snippets 
  • Added compiler warnings to the "Errors" display 
  • Added intellisense for namespaces
  • Added notification area icon context menu to Open & Exit
  • Added workarounds for users running at 120 DPI experiencing GDI+ bug
  • Changed: Cleaning up all files created during session
  • Changed behavior of notification area icon: Double-click to open/set focus, right-click for context menu
  • Minor additions/changes/fixes

    You'd better stop there or a Microsoft hit squad may come after you to prevent competition with Visual Studio... Just lay low on the drag and drop databinding and you might last to version 1.3.

    Thanks for the coolest tool in my c:\utils!

    Wonderful - just wonderful. I use it for demos and for testing little snippets of code, because it allows you to focus on the important stuff. Keep up the good work!

    I think the forms designer will have to wait for a couple versions. ;) Thanks for the comments!

    WOW I love this tool!

    I will be using this thing all the time but I would like to give some feedback to try to help improve it.

    I don't know if you are still working on this but if so I will start firing off my list from the first day of use. I am sure there will be more as I use it more.

    I am more then willing to help implement my suggestions if that would help.

    By the way I teach at UCSD and will be using this now to show .NET code up to now I have been using Notepad and the command line in class.

    Thanks for a great tool!
