Tools I can't live without, Save time !

These simple tools are a daily life-saver for, They are the difference between 5 min and 2 hours, and that means $$$, The best developers is sometimes not the smartest, he or she might just be the best because they are the most productive and adhere to KISS and SOLID as much as they can.

Utility Apps

TextPad : Fastest File System searching, e.g: Find ALL sql and c# code that has the word Event_ID
KillProcess.exe : Multi Select Processes and Kill em!! Task Manager on steroids
DebugView: See all the output from System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine() and default output
ProcessExplorer (kill those handles that lock files!)
XPathTester : when Im in XML hell....This saves the day!
WinDiff : Old school from VS 6.0 and still awesome!
Winrar : boom extract!

Zoho: Cloud based notebook and remote assistance is what I use!
notepad.cc : awesome, simple notepad in cloud
GoogleDrive: Duh!
JSFiddle
SQLFiddle/
SQLTidy All 3 are super utilities

In SSMS:

SqlTreeo: Create Folders in SSMS Object Explorer, The way SSMS SHOULD work but doesn't!
sp_who3 : Sproc that shows who, what, when and where for SPIDS! Who is killing my DB? This answers
vw_DBAObjects : a view to search ALL SQL Objects that contain a keyword, Views, udfs, Tables and Sproc are union-ed, This view saves MASSIVE TIME! Stop using SSMS to find dependencies.
SplitEx : udf to split a string!




VS.Net

JS Parser AddIn : Oh man! Best ever most awesome shows JS functios in Outline, handles JQuery to! If ur doing web dev and are NOT a JS "expert" U gotta try this!!!!
Code Snippets: Custom stuff, e.g: try catch in one click! ect...These are my settings for vs.net, macros, and snippets
Power Command: Adds all the menus that MS forgot to add...Like Collapse Solution, Copy Reference

If U like to do more in less time to, let me know what Ur fav tools are to!
