When using Visual Studio, I add a few custom menu items to the Tools menu, the following are my staples:<\/p>\n
First up, there’s a menu item for displaying the strong name key for the current assembly.: The command here references the %programfiles(x86)%\\microsoft sdks\\windows\\v7.0a\\Bin\\sn.exe<\/em> file and the following argument -T $(TargetPath)<\/em>. The -T option is used to display the public key token for the assembly given by the TargetPath variable.<\/p>\n Next, I add an option for listing all of the worker processes:<\/p>\n The command this time is C:\\Windows\\System32\\inetsrv\\appcmd.exe<\/em> and the argument list wp<\/em>.<\/p>\n Running provides an output similar to:<\/p>\n Which makes it easy to identify which w3wp process to connect to when debugging. Using add-ins such as CKSDev<\/a> allow you to connect to the available IIS processes but not a specific one.<\/p>\n The next three options (To GAC…) all use a custom batch file which looks like:<\/p>\n The argument for the To GAC with Reset<\/em> option is $(TargetPath) 1<\/em>. This copies the current assembly to the GAC and performs an IIS reset. Again, the CKSDev add-in provides this functionality but you need to copy it first and then reset IIS afterwards, this combines it into the one command.<\/p>\n The argument for the To GAC with Recycle<\/em> option is $(TargetPath) 0 1<\/em>. As with the previous command, this also copies the current assembly to the GAC but this time recycles the SharePoint 80 application pool.<\/p>\n The argument for the To GAC with Recycle<\/em> option is $(TargetPath)<\/em>. This command simply copies the current assembly to the GAC.<\/p>\n The last custom option I use is SP Dispose Check<\/em>.<\/p>\n First, download the tool from the following site Dispose Check<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then add the tool using the command %ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Microsoft\\SharePoint Dispose Check\\SPDisposeCheck.exe<\/em>, argument $(BinDir)<\/em> and initial directory $(SolutionDir)<\/em><\/p>\n OK, that’s it for the Visual Studio tools. Next up, the custom scripts that I use.<\/p>\n Scripts<\/strong><\/p>\n Only the one script, if you exclude the copy to GAC batch file.<\/p>\n This script request the SharePoint timer job to process. Easier than going into the Central Administration site and manually running the timer job.<\/p>\n First there’s the PowerShell script:<\/p>\n and the batch file to run the script:<\/p>\n Finally, I’ll list the applications and utilities that I use the most.<\/p>\n Apps and Utilities<\/strong><\/p>\n In no particular order:<\/p>\n Just wanting to share the utilities, custom scripts and applications that I use when developing for SharePoint. Besides the obvious, Visual Studio, SharePoint Designer and InfoPath, the following is what I find makes developing and debugging that little bit easier. … Continue reading ![\"Custom](\"http:\/\/www.stuartroberts.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Custom-Tools.jpg\")
