Visual Studio Gallery - GuidGen 2.0
Provides a new Create GUID command in the Tools menu with a new WPF surface, and featuring code tailored for C# and VB.NET developers to define Guid fields. Also provides editor inline code completions for adding GUIDs, guid fields and guid attributes for C# and VB.NET!
Let's face it. The Create Guid (guidgen.exe) tool that ships with VS is over a decade old and is old Win32 GDI based. It also doesn't produce any code snippets useful for C#/VB developers.
GuidGen 2.0 is a new face to creating GUIDs. And includes C#/VB code snippets!
But a separate app to copy GUIDs from into the editor is still old school. Why not have inline editor completions for GUIDs? Just type "guid" in your C# or VB code files, then click on "Guids" or press Alt+. to select the Guids tab with the keyboard.
..."
A new face for the tool I'm sure we've all used at one time or another (or not...)
I love the addition of the code snips. :)
