Great Developer Tools

Four of my favorite utilities:
  • Text Pad - great text editor (bettern than notepad or wordpad)
  • .Net Command Prompt Here - great short cut for running command line stuff
  • Beyond Compare - my new favorite way to update sites (file and folder comparison utility). If you move files from development to QA or prod or whatever -> check this utility out!
  • Lutz Roeder's Reflector - great tool to view source code of compiled .net assemblies, make sure you add it to your Send To directory
Scott has a REALLY good list of Tools too. I don't see Beyond Compare on his list though.

Is there something like Beyond Compare, but free?

It's nowhere near as fancy, but the Microsoft Platform SDK ships with the Windiff tool that should do the trick in a pinch.
