MZ-Tools - Productivity Tools for Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic and VBA

MZ-Tools is a family of add-ins, some of them freeware, which extend the Microsoft programming environments with new menus and toolbars to provide many productivity features.

MZ-Tools will allow you to enjoy the following benefits during the development of your applications:

* To write code faster: There are features that will allow you to insert exception handlers, snippets of code, etc. with a single mouse click, keyboard shortcut or expansion keyword, or to use assistants to create new procedures, message boxes, connection strings, etc.
* To locate code faster: With the enhanced Find feature of this add-on, all the results are shown in a hierarchical tree inside a dockable window that allows you to remove occurrences that are not of your interest and a lot of other enhancements. Other features allow you to locate the calls to a given procedure, to keep a list of favorite procedures that you use often, etc.
* To design forms faster: There are features that will allow you to apply default properties to a control when it is added to a form, to set the TabIndex property of all the controls of a form with one click (or even none), etc.
* To document your code faster: There are features that will allow you to insert headers (to a procedure, class or file) with a single mouse click or keyboard shortcut. These headers are customizable and allow the use of predefined variables (such as the procedure name) or user-defined variables. Furthermore, other features will generate documentation about your source code in XML and HTML formats.
* To ensure the quality of your code and applications: There are features that can add line numbers for error handlers, code reviews that can detect dead code, review the TabIndex or access keys of your controls, review forbidden or mandatory text, etc. Even better, in version 4.0 for Visual Studio .NET you can write your own review operations with very little effort.

And many more features (40+ in each toolset) that let you have a good time coding by eliminating the tedious tasks!
