Tool list

1. StyleCop
StyleCop analyzes C# source code to enforce a set of style and consistency rules. It can be run from inside of Visual Studio or integrated into an MSBuild project. StyleCop has also been integrated into many third-party development tools

2. Eqatec Profiler

From EQATEC:

The EQATEC Profiler is a code profiler, not a memory profiler. So it's all about making your app run faster, not about tracking objects and memory. The report will tell you exactly how many times each method was called and how long it took. You can then speedup your application by optimizing just the most expensive methods.

Error logging tools

Elmah

     Overview extracted from the article

     As promised, here is my next article regarding another tool I find completely invaluable in my life as a developer,Elmah. Basically Elmah sites quietly on your site, logging any exceptions (Code based or Web Server, for example, 404) which occur to (in this example) a database.  It then provides a nice neat GUI front end to allow you to view the details of these errors, including stack traces. If you're anything like me, and are tired of conversations which go like this:

• User: "Karl, the website crashed earlier"
• Karl: "Oh right, what were you doing"
• User: "I don't remember, I was just on it, can you fix it please"
• Karl: "Well I could do with reproducing it...

You will be happy Elmah exists!
