These links should be helpful:

You may have also heard of CodeRush/Refactor! Pro, which is a tool similar to ReSharper.

I like the Expresso tool for regular expressions. I have a few regex references in this post.

hmm you must do alot of linq.Sadly for some BS reason we are not allowed to use link, somthing to do with dynmic sql :(

That's unfortunate. There's more to it than just LINQ to SQL though, specifically in-memory objects and XML.

A file management program: Total Commander
for screenshot, on Vista, Snipping Tool (there is a free program for XP that is quite similar)
