2011 Visual Studio Magazine Readers Choice Winners

The readers have spoken, and told us what development tools they can't live without.

It's that time of year! Every fall, Visual Studio Magazine asks its readers to recognize the best third-party tools for professional developers who earn their livelihoods working with code in Microsoft Visual Studio and related tooling. Microsoft provides some great platforms and tools—the Microsoft .NET Framework, Silverlight, ASP.NET, SharePoint, SQL Server and Windows Azure, to name a few—but third-party vendors fill in some crucial gaps, providing tools that boost productivity to a degree that's just not available with the built-in tools.

This year's VSM Readers Choice Awards span 28 categories, with a few former categories merging into others: Bug, Defect & Feature Tracking joins Collaboration, Project Management & Agile Solutions, for example. New categories were also added, as more tools emerge in areas such as cloud development.

The 19th-annual Readers Choice Awards are based on the voting of Visual Studio Magazine subscribers, whose hard-won expertise and hands-on experience offer invaluable insights into the best development tools. In September, we invited a select subset of readers to fill out survey ballots and identify the top third-party tools from a list of more than 600 developer products. This year, we also asked our expert panel of VSM columnists to weigh in on the Readers Choice Award Winners and tell us which of the winning products they valued the most.

Like past years, VSM recognizes the top Readers Choice Award winner in each category and gives Merit Awards for two runners up. In the case of a tie, all the winning products are listed. Check out the categories to see the top tools chosen by your peers and let us know if your must-have tools are part of these rankings. If you participated in the survey, thanks for voting!

ComponentOne Doc-To-Help and Innovasys HelpStudio also had good showings.



On Doc-To-Help

"As a technical writer, I have fond feelings for ComponentOne's Doc-To-Help: I just like its Microsoft Word interface. It may not be as sexy as RoboHelp (an excellent tool) but I'd hate to give up Doc-To-Help."

"XtraReports hits a real sweet spot within custom applications for delivering fast, flexible, high-quality reports from almost any possible data source at a price that my clients could easily afford. My clients used the standalone end-user report designer to prepare the easier reports, and then I could focus on coding the more complex reports where my skills could add much more value."

A Few of Their Favorite Things: What Readers Love

Most products don't become Readers Choice Award winners, but that doesn't mean they're not valuable. What follows is a selection of comments from readers about the tools they're using—some of which were on the ballot, and some that didn't get that far—and why. (The comments have been edited for clarity in some cases.)

  • Sybase Unwired Platform. But it's more than just mobile development—it's a complete MEAP [Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform].
  • Telerik and ComponentOne both have the same rich UI components.
  • Eclipse is customized by many mobile companies for their development, including Symbian (Nokia) and Android.
  • You missed WinHost Web hosting. They're awesome.
  • GrapeCity PowerTools Spread.NET: Nothing else comes close.
  • Fluent NHibernate is not exactly a tool, but it's highly valued.
  • Beyond Compare from Scooter Software Inc., for merging code from Team Foundation Server or Subversion, is worth every penny.
  • SpreadsheetGear has been a lifesaver when it comes to converting archaic Excel projects into .NET projects. I don't leave an Excel project without it!
  • Intersoft Solutions. We use Model-View-ViewModel, and Intersoft controls fit in nicely with this design pattern.
  • CodeJock. While the documentation is lacking, the robustness of the tools and their reliability are excellent.
  • I find open source the best, particularly Drupal.
  • Lots of stuff from CodePlex for Windows Phone, such as the Silverlight Toolkit.
  • I can't say enough about ComponentOne's reporting tools, spell-check feature, FlexGrid and everything in between.
  • DevExpress DXperience Enterprise has all the components I could ever use in one source.

—K.W.
