Hi All,
I have "inherited" an ASP.net 2.0 VB project and have been given a list of items the customer wants changed. This is not my original work, I've "inherited" it from another coder who went AWOL. The customer just wants the site to work, but has found a few issues that need to be changed. Unfortunately, the project is over budget and is about a year overdue. Thus, there's no time to update it to .Net 3.5.
Can anyone suggest to me some (Hopefully Free) addins you use in VS 2008 that would assist me in understanding the codebase. I started using Reflector and have a fair understanding of the classes and methods defined. What techniques have you used when modifying an existing codebase? Do you re-create according to your practices and methodology, or try to adhere to what the previous coder did?
Thanks so much for your help! Sid
