Snippet Compiler

I started looking over Snippet Compiler. For those of you who do not know, it was created by Jeff Key. Here is a list of features as listed on his site:

  • Compiles and runs single or multiple C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET snippets.
  • Optionally builds WinForm EXEs, console EXEs or DLLs.
  • The user can store a library of templates.
  • Displays compile errors and warning, including wave lines in editor with error/warning tooltips.
  • IntelliSense for static members and method signatures, as well as constructor signatures.
  • Imports VS.NET projects.
  • Conveniently sits in the notification area waiting to be useful.
  • Exports snippets to HTML/RTF.

It seems useful, but I rarely have a small snippet of code that doesn't need a handful of references to test.

I did find the PerfTimer.cs (Performance Tester) template to be handy.

Does anyone want to share how this app is helping you?

First Post

This is the first post on my experimental blog. I have been toying with the idea of setting up a blog for months now, but have kept putting it off. I would like to use the .Text blog, but I don't want to fork out the cash for a SQL server account until I am sure I would post regularily. Yes, I know that you can use MSDE, but I don't wanna mess with it.

The primary focus of this blog will be for me to post comments around Microsoft's ASP.NET and C# technology. I occasionally come across a problem that I have a terrible time finding a solution for via the internet. I will be posting those solutions here.

So begins my blogging adventure.
