Useful C# tools
If you're a reader of this blog than you probably know about this already. But who really knows and just in case you don't, here's a link to Duncan Mackenzie's great page of C# tools. You'll find links to all sorts of .Net libraries, compilers for your platform of choice (definitely try Mono if you're on a Mac), obfuscators, decompilers, profilers and much much more. My favorite tool on that page? Definitely Lutz Roeder's Reflector. One of the few tools that I feel is "just right" and an indespensible tool for any .Net developer. It was on this page that I found the C# mode for emacs. I use it mainly for font-lock, but it's still really useful. If you haven't checked this out you should, you just might find something useful for you now or in the future!

I can't believe the <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/">Resharper</a> by Jet Brains is not in the list. - Anonymous

Reflector version 3 was better though. It had more features :-( - Anonymous

What? Reflector 4 is way cooler - never fails, never locks assemblies, runs with all .net versions including whidbey. I havent noticed any features missing? - Anonymous

Discussing with Lutz Roeder just revealed that Reflector 4 has the same features as Reflector 3.
The problem is that the commands are not easy to find. Reflector 3 was more intuitive, in my opinion. Let's hope Lutz improves that a bit. - Anonymous

Fabrice, are the commands now harder to find or do you just expect to find them somewhere else? In my opinion Reflector 4 is a bit easier to understand. - Anonymous
