It’s particularly useful for performing routine file system tasks without the need to “context switch” away from Visual Studio, which can be time-consuming over the course of days and weeks. It is shell-enabled so extensions like TortoiseSVN work too. read more...

Introducing LINQ to LightSpeed(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by turtlespin(634) 3 years, 11 months ago
