MZ-Tools has a single goal: To make your everyday programming life easier.

MZ-Tools allows you to write code, find code, design your forms, document your applications, and review their quality much faster than you do it today. It saves you valuable time each and every time you use it. Tens of thousands of satisfied developers worldwide have found MZ-Tools to be invaluable. Read some of the testimonials here.

As an add-in to the several Microsoft programming environments such as Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET (C#, VB.NET, Visual J# and C++ languages), VB6, VB5 and VBA, MZ-Tools adds new menus and toolbars to the IDE that provide many new productivity features, as you can see in the following image:

MZ-Tools will allow you to enjoy the following benefits during the development of your applications:

  • To write code faster: There are features that will allow you to insert exception handlers, snippets of code, etc. with a single mouse click, keyboard shortcut or expansion keyword, and to use assistants to create new procedures, message boxes, connection strings, etc.
  • To find code faster: With the enhanced Find feature of MZ-Tools, all the results are shown in a hierarchical tree inside a dockable window that allows you to remove occurrences that are not of interest. Other features allow you to find all code locations that call a given procedure, to keep a list of favorite procedures, etc.
  • To design forms faster: There are features that will allow you to apply default properties to a control when it is added to a form, to set the TabIndex property of all the controls of a form with one click, etc.
  • To document your code faster: There are features that will allow you to insert headers (to a procedure, class or file) with a single mouse click or keyboard shortcut. These headers are customizable and allow the use of predefined variables (such as the procedure name) or user-defined variables. Furthermore, other features will generate documentation about your source code in XML and HTML formats.
  • To ensure the quality of your code and applications: There are features that can sort code, add line numbers for error handlers, code reviews that can detect dead code, review the TabIndex or access keys of your controls, review forbidden or mandatory text, etc. Even better, from version 4.0 for Visual Studio .NET onwards you can use the MZ-Tools SDK to write your own review operations with very little effort.

And many more features (40+ in each toolset) to make coding more enjoyable by eliminating the tedious tasks!

There are several versions of the MZ-Tools add-ins, some of them freeware, depending on your Microsoft programming environment. Choose the one of your interest:
