Favorite IDE & Debugger/Disassembler

[Apoc]

I'm bored, so I've made this thread, out of boredom. (Ironic isn't it?)

Anyhow, this thread is mostly for a 'what's everyone else use?' type thread, and a psuedo info-dump thread.

It's pretty simple; list your favorite IDE/Debuggers/Disassemblers, and why.

C#

IDE: Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite - Obviously the best IDE available for C#. Microsoft made the language, so I'd hope they make the best available IDE for it. Other honerable mentions go to SharpDevelop and Eclipse.

IDE Plugins:

1. ReSharper- Hands down the best C# plugin available for Visual Studio. Plain and simple, if you don't have this plugin, you're missing many optimizations, and the 'bad code' you're writing.
2. GhostDoc - I'm a coder. Not a novel writer. This plugin lets me quickly and easily comment code. (The ///<summary> comments)
3. AnkhSVN - Because I hate having to leave the IDE to read changes, commit changes, etc. This lets me do all of it from the IDE. Not to mention; it skips commiting binaries and the folders you don't need for code.
4. PInvoke.NET - We all hate leaving the IDE to go copy/paste PInvoke signatures. This just makes life easier.

Disassembler:

1. There's only one real disassembler for .NET in general. That's .NET Reflector (link). Nothing else really compares to it. There's tons of plugins, plus other things. It can output in C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI, and of course, IL.
2. IDA - The all around best disassembler. It has .NET support, however, it lacks what .NET Reflector gives.

Debugger:

1. No suprise here. Visual Studio takes the cake. If you have the PDB, it will take you, within the IDE itself, to the exact code that is causing an issue, or wherever you decide to breakpoint. It will even show you, as if you were reading the source code, what is going on, step by step.
2. I don't know of any other .NET debuggers. Inform me!

Here goes!

C#

IDE:

1. Visual Studio 2008 Professional

IDE Plugins:

1. Resharper Far by the best plugin ive ever tried for Visual Studio
2. VisualSVN for managing "my" svn while im inside vs

Dissasembler:

1. Ida Pro 5.2 is there any better one ?

Debuggers:

1. The one in Visual Studio ofc.
2. OllyDBG using this one in conjunction with IDA when reversing stuff
3. WindDBG useful sometimes if you dont want to open olly to check what a register is at some place

C++

IDE:
Visual Studio 2008 Team System

Plugins:
Visual Assist X. By far the best C++ plugin evar.
AnkhSVN. Caus subversion is ftw.

Disassmbler/Debugger:
VS Debugger - All of my debugging for code i've written
IDA Pro v5.4 - Most of my disassembling/debugging for other people's code
WinDBG - Kernel debugging
OllyDBG - The rest of my debugging for other people's code, and when dealing with packers

[goderion]

C++

IDE:
Visual Sudio 6

Plugins:
None

Disassembler:
Visual Studio 6
OllyDbg

I guess i need to check out Visual Studio 2008. My current Project is so complex, that VS 6 is unable to support intellisense, maybe VS 2008 is able to do it properly.

OllyDBG - The rest of my debugging for other people's code, and when dealing with packers

really similar for me

as IDE I still use VS2005 since I tend to buy (or let buy) my software and VS is really expensive. I will update in 2 - 5 years or when I feel it is necessary. I skipped VS2003 too ; )

as a debugger I favor SoftICE with a modified iceext plugin on a second pc which is just meant for debugging propose. yes ollydbg would do the job more smoothly but it is by habit from times when olly didn't existed.

and to complete nothing really beats VS debugger for own projects or IDA for dissasembling.

Visual Assist X. By far the best C++ plugin evar.

This looks interesting. $99 (or $49 for students)

Visual Assist X - an add-in for Visual Studio by Whole Tomato Software

I've always disliked the lack of continuity between the C# features and C++ features in VS. This addon looks like it bridges that gap. Downloading the trial now...

[Tanaris4]

FOR MAC:

Xcode - pretty much only option

For Scanning memory:
iHaxGamez (my preference)
The Cheat

Personally, Visual Assist X is only good for C++ devs. It totally mucks up the IDE for C#. (It makes it incredibly slow as well.)

Well all the real work is done in C++ anyway. The guy at Microsoft in charge of the IDE admitted that C++ got screwed (paraphrasing) in previous releases and promised good things for C++ with VS2010. I have been too lazy to download the beta though.

Pfft. C++ devs are the only REAL devs. Screw .NET.

Orly? Win!

Yes, C++ got quite a few neat things in 2010. I don't suggest you download the beta just yet, as it's damn near unable to use. It's slow. VERY slow. But it is a beta, so I can't quite bitch them out just yet.

Visual Studio 2010 Product Highlights

[amadmonk]

Heheheh, they've been promising to "fix" C++ in VS since I was on the team for VS.Net 2k3. In fact, that was one of the chunks of code I worked on (ISO compliance for the C++ compiler... ICE's were my friend!)

[amadmonk]

Hmm, looking at VS2k10's features, I'm most excited about:

1) Multimon support (it's about frakkin time, VS! I hardly know anyone with just one monitor anymore...)
2) Visual F# (not sure how much I'll use it, but I've wanted to cut my teeth on F# for a while).
3) C++ 0x features -- yay!
4) Built-in parallelism features -- yay!

MASM:

IDE = RadASM

Debugger = Olly

Pssssssttt Apoc,

GhostDoc - I'm a coder. Not a novel writer. This plugin lets me quickly and easily comment code. (The ///<summary> comments)

I thought you were a novel writer when you program! :O
