« .NET Regular Expression Assembly Builder... | Main | August Geek Dinner Follow-Up »

I made a few updates to the Regex Assembly Builder tool that I posted a few days ago.  Most notably are the following updates:

  • NEW: Added a 48x48 256 color icon.
  • FIX: Opening Strong Name Key file returns access denied if the file is readonly.
  • FIX: Unable to specify assembly name identifier with period delimiters.
  • NEW: Application now strong named.  This is a breaking change.  All assemblies generated heretofore with the utility will not work with this application because of an embedded attribute.  This will not be an issue moving forward, but my apologies for the mistake.
  • NEW: Added ability to specify output path and to change the target directory the generated assembly.
  • UPD: Set font on the Zoom/Text Editor to be 'Consolas, 9pt'.  If you don't have Consolas, get it - you won't regret it - hands down one of the greatest monospaced fonts out there.
  • UPD: Set anchor on RegexEditor control to support resizing of TextBox controls.
  • UPD: Added application configuration file to support binding redirects when application is updated.

All in all, these updates were added smoothly.  Let me know if you have any issues with the update.

Feel free to download it here.

Coming features include:

  • Namespace view in TreeView to allow for a more natural navigation.
  • Alphabetical listing of regular expressions in TreeView.
  • (possible) Regular expression editor to allow for the creation of the regular expressions directly in the tool.  I may integrate with another tool if anyone has suggestions.

What features would you like to see in it?
