NET Tools

---

Here are listed some of the existing companion tools for .NET development.
Although quite comprehensive, this list is not exhaustive. You can submit new tools or report a dead link by dropping me a line.

Note: I have to restrict myself to tool products, and avoid components, class libraries, articles, techniques... otherwise the list would be way too long! That does not mean that I won't make exceptions if I decide to cover a particular area (probably I did already ).

Chad Osgood has created an RSS feed for this list. Check it out right now to keep informed when the list is updated.
