I got an email the other day from Omer Rauchwerger, the developer and the man who stands behind a nice tool (addin that runs over the Visual Studio 2005) called Regionerate. I had requested to 'play' with this tool and give an opinion about it, and so I did...
(Note: I heard about it earlier than Omer's email, Ken Egozi's had posted about it on his blog).
Before I outlines my impressions, comments and feelings about it, I want to give some words about the Regionerate website itself; The man did here realy good job. There are great detailed demo movie that displays the work of the tool, some tutorials, gallery and more...
About the tool, well I'd downloaded the latest version (beta) on my PC and played with it a little bit. The usage is very convinient and indeed saves time while reagioning your code, it all being done by a single right click and gives nice and elegant outcome.
I very impressed from the custom Code Layout of this tool; By Using this tool you can customize your final layout of code by simple XML file editing (fully intellisense adapted).
On the end of the day, a great work has been done here and I am looking for more innovetions in the next versions and for the final release of course.
Omer, if you'll find a way to give the ability of titling each specific region in addition to the current titles (before regioning of course) it will be great one.
