Microsoft's Developer Division has launched a series of new Shared Source tools to help developers build applications more efficiently.
S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft, said the Redmond, Wash., software giant released the new tools, including a set of "Power Toys for Visual Studio," at the end of May.
In a blog entry on May 25, Somasegar said Microsoft released three of the "power toys" to its Shared Source program, including MSBee, an addition to MSBuild that allows developers to build managed applications with MSBuild using Visual Studio 2005 projects that target .Net 1.1.
