This is web designer tool for people like me, who are software developer not web designers.

Whole web site you can easly export to ASP.NET as the Visual Studio solution

I just bought Resharper 4.5

I used trial of Resharper 4.5 for Visual Studio 2008.
Now it is my must have tool for .NET development. I just bought a profesional licence for this product including update to the Resharper 5.0 :)

Why do I like this tool so much?

Because it helps keep my code clean and support code refactoring much better the Visual Studio.

I hope new version for Visual Studio 2010 will be even better.

Very usefull and free screen capture tool - Jing

With free version you can capture video with lenth up to 5 minutes, how many you want.


In many scenarios 5 minutes of video is full enough.
Videos are in flash format + sound recording

Wintail

Time before I always used notepad or notepadd++ to review log files during development.

Last time I explored windows version of unix Tail - WinTail!
WinTail is free to download on: http://wintail.hofle.com/

It is very helpfull for viewing log files!
- by default it shows the end of the opened file
- refresh its content on file update

(i don't need to open it once again and scroll)

Additionally WinTail highlight lines with specified keywords. By default its highligt lines containing "fail" and "error"
