[Tools] SlickRun
18 October 05 11:22 AM | CSharpener | 2 comment(s)

Bayden Systems free  SlickRun is now a regular part of my Windows environment toolkit.  It is self-described as a "free floating command line utility for Windows."  I lets you define "magic words" that are shortcuts to commands you can define.  Some are pre-supplied.  One of SlickRun's  most notable characteristics is its sparse and non-intrusive UI.  It stays out of the way and does not grab too much valuable screen space.  Eric Lawrence has done a great job with SlickRun and, personally, I thank him for contributing this and other freeware applications to the community.

[Tools] CollapseAll Macro for VisualStudio.NET
18 October 05 09:27 AM | CSharpener | with no comments

I have used the CollapseAll Macro for Visual Studio .NET so frequently, now, that I need to post its URL here so you and I can easily find it.  This is a "must have" feature that should have been included in VS.NET!  I prefer the version that collapses all the projects, also.
