Is Nick Stakenburg Bullying His Open-Source 'Competitor'(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinski(610) 3 years, 2 months ago

Nick (the vendor) is jarred by the fact that someone has released a comparable (better?) product that his and it is free. It behaves somewhat the same, so obviously it was copied... This is a serious issue, we can't let companies push around open-source with threats like this. read more...

Free Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by AndrewPeters(1170) 3 years, 9 months ago

The Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in (sexy name we know, but hey, it’s self documenting) is a free Tool Window add-in for VS 2008 that provides a Windows Explorer style file system view. 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...
