DotNET Framework

Some years ago I published an article explaining how to use #ziplib to compress files in a ZIP archive.

#ziplib is an open source .NET library to manager ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2 and other type of compressed archives.
It comes from the same guys of SharpDevelop.

SolutionBackup is a VisualStudio® 2003/2005/2008 addin which allows to create a ZIP backup of your current solution.
The backup will contain only projects source files, excluding .DLL, .EXE, .OBJ, etc.

Creating a backup of current solution is easy, and it's done directly inside VisualStudio:
right-click on the solution and select "Backup solution...".

If you are using the new .NET Framework 2.0, I hope you know about the existance of Partial Types.
VisualStudio 2005/2008 itself uses partial types to manage Form and UserControl sources, separing Designer code from User code.
This is a better solution, if compared with the old #Region...#End Region used in VisualStudio 2002/2003.

NSIS Dialog Designer is an IDE that provides a graphical tool to easily design your custom setup pages for the great NSIS installer system.

It supports MUI2 (Modern User Interface 2) dialogs and generates NSIS files ready to be included into your own *.nsi install script.

If you have ever written a data-entry application, there's a big chance you used NumericUpDown control.
This control is great to provide a field to enter numeric values, with advanced features like up-down buttons and accelerating auto-repeat.

The other side of the coin is that is not really mouse-aware.
That's why I decided to subclass it, fixing these points and adding missing features and properties.

AutoZIP is a compression utility witch allows to compress a single file in a ZIP archive.
After compression, AutoZIP sets creation, last access and last changed date as the same values of the source file.

It comes in two flavours: Graphical (GUI) for one-shot file compression and CommandLine (CLI) for use in automated scripts/batch.
