Here. While I don't think it's as pretty, Eric Gunnerson's RegexW has some cool features I wish RegexD [1] had, like regex->English translation and menus for regex parts. Anyone want to merge the best of both into some uber regex tool? [1] http://sellsbrothers.com/tools/#regexd

Here. Now that GotDotNet Workspaces 1.0 has shipped (congrats!) Mike has moved Genghis there. Feel free to apply for membership if you've already contributed source to Genghis or if there's something you'd like to add.

Here. The one where I talk about the most important thing I ever learned.

Here. Tired of the XmlSerializer's generic "File or assembly name ctewkx4b.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found" exception? The XmlSerializerPreCompiler tools checks to see if a type can be serialized by the XmlSerializer class and if it can't, shows the compiler errors happening behind the scenes so that the type can be modified. Enjoy.

This just in: Mathew Nolton has posted a GUI front-end to my XmlSerializerPreCompiler that you might find useful. Thanks, Matt!

The fact that Windows XP Find in Files only searches files with known file extensions drives me crazy because it skips, among other things, .cs  files. Every time I set up a new system, I have to re-figure out how to fix this. To facilitate that, I put together a .reg file that will search all unknown file extensions as text files. Enjoy.

Here. I got turned onto this tool internally and I love it. It installs simply, works intuitively and allows for easy ad hoc queries and commands. Recommended.

Sorry for the long wait. There’s been two whole books written between the last release of Genghis and this one. Here’s the list of new features:

• Everything works under .NET 1.0 and 1.1 (except HandleCollector)
• MSN Messanger-style popup window
• UI Type Editor for use with ImageList index selection
• AppBar implementation
• Text file search
• Themed controls
• Single instance application support, including passing command line args from other instances
• Multiple top-level window support
• Many enhancements and fixes to the command line parser
• Splash screen class
• Improved WebCommandLineHelper class which now works with .NET 1.0 and 1.1, includes URL decoding and requires no additional permissions (although it does require a server-side HTTP handler, included as the ConfigFileHandler class that maps requests for foo.exe?bar=quux.config to the foo.exe.config file)
• WizardSheet updates
• Status Bar Extender for mapping status messages to Windows Forms controls

Thanks to my new build master, Mike Marshal, who got all of this together. He’s the greatest!
