SQL Header
This macro inserts a general-purpose documentation header in your SQL Server Stored Procedure. Include Purpose, Author, Notes, Parameters, Returns, and Revision History sections. Automatically uses current username in header.

Breakpoint Every Method
This macro puts a breakpoint on every method in all open code windows. Especially helpful when debugging unknown modules.

Close All but Active
Closes all code windows except the current one. This should have been in Visual Studio from the start.

Collapse All to Definitions
Performs a Collapse to Definitions on all open code windows.

Copy Reference Path
When you need this macro, you really need it. Copies the reference path entries from the currently selected project to all other projects in the solution. Most useful in multi-developer environments.

Update All Web References
Runs through each project in the solution and updates all web references in the project.

Scripts

Verify Read-only
This script checks the file in the current directory and all subdirectories for non-read-only. Has a function that identifies file extension filters to exclude. By default, the script ignores Visual Basic binaries and VS user settings.

Find Text in DTS ActiveX Tasks
Searches all .DTS files in the current directory and searches for instances of a string in the ActiveX script tasks. This solution was provided in a Usenet posting.

cbSPMaker SQL Stored Procedure Generator 2.0

This application is recently updated with improved functionality and more features. The application lets you generate SQL Server stored procedures based on a table schema. The SP's generated are:
  • Get - Gets a single record from a table and returns the fields in output parameters. Takes the PK as an input parameter. Now handles multi-field PKs.
  • Save - Saves a single record using parameters and returns the PK as an output parameter. Now better handles autonumber fields.
  • List - Returns a resultset for the entire table
  • Delete (new) - Deletes a row based on the primary key
Using these as a base for your database operations promotes consistancy. Comments are included at the beginning of each procedure. Case is duplicated as the tables and fields are defined. Requires .NET Framework 2.0. download now
