VISUAL EXPERT - GET A FREE LICENCE
In order to supply our customers and friends with the best services and valuable opportunities we decided to start a partnership with Novalys. Novalys offers you a FREE one year’s licence ($1100 value) of their flagship application "Visual Expert 5.0. for Visual Basic".
Visual Expert is designed for large VB projects and includes various features: it generates technical documentation, verifies the code's quality and helps exploring the project. This may help you if you work on some code you didn't write, or that you wrote several months ago.
Visual Expert also performs impact analysis: you can list all the components affected by a change in your code. It will be helpful to avoid the side effects that can be experienced when modifying a project.
I've tried Visual Expert personally and I'm very impressed. I ran it against our blueshell Active Tables code and it produced a clear outline of the whole project. We're planning to replace the FlexGrid used internally with a better (self-made) component. Using Visual Expert we can now better estimate the impact of that change on the project.
You can request your license of Visual Expert at http://visual-expert.net/request/request.php?TEMPL=promovb&TAG=HvB0904
(Caution: there is a time limitation to request this license!)
Best regards,
Harry
