My name is Carlos J.
Quintero and I am a
Microsoft Most
Valuable Professional (MVP) in the Visual Developer .NET category since 2004
for my contributions in forums and newsgroups to the community of developers
who create add-ins for Visual Studio.
My interest in developing add-ins started around the middle of year 2000, due to the fact that the VB6 IDE, whilst being a good IDE, was not as powerful as I would wish
and had notorious deficiencies.
I also wished to become familiar with building web sites, domain registration and so on.
In October 2000 I first released my little web site with MZ-Tools 1.0 for VB6 supplied as a freeware tool. It was quite a simple version but which nonetheless enjoyed a lot of success.
The version 2.0, which was released about six months later, was even more successful.
In October 2001 I released version 3.0, which has been by far the most popular add-in
for VB5, VB6 and VBA.
For Visual Studio .NET I have created new versions with new and great features.
Another question that some ask is "What does MZ mean?". You’ll probably laugh, but
"MZ" derives from "Mazinger-Z", a very popular Japanese cartoon character (in Spain) in the late 70's when I was a child. The original name for the tools, Q-Tools, was not available for domain registration, so... ah well, Mazinger-Z was a very powerful robot with a lot of resources, just like these tools... Hmmm. ;-)
With Best Wishes
