FxCop Team Page – FxCop is a code analysis tool that checks .NET managed code assemblies for conformance to the Microsoft .NET Framework Design Guidelines
NUnit – “NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. Initially ported from JUnit, the current production release, version 2.2, is the fourth major release of this xUnit based unit testing tool for Microsoft .NET. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. NUnit brings xUnit to all .NET languages.”
Three must-have tools: Version control, issue tracking, unit testing – “Even with the recent pricing changes, Visual Studio Team System is going to remain out of reach of many small shops and individual developers. However you feel about the value offered by the package, the reality is that it’s not feasible for some organizations to lay out thousands of dollars per developer to upgrade to VSTS. In the sometimes-heated discussions of pricing, though, it’s been easy to lose sight of one simple fact: it’s perfectly possible to sit down with a copy of Visual Studio Professional and write Visual Basic applications. You don’t actually need the whole Team System packages to turn out software”
Mono Directions – “In this document I only present the direction of development of the Mono team at Novell; A more comprehensive view of other Mono developments by the Mono community is something that am working on and will post at a later date.”
