Red Gate SQL Prompt Freeware – Intellisense for SQL Server Tools
In the spirit of sharing, and noticing that Red Gate Software’s SQL Prompt is up to $295 dollars for a single license, I’d like to offer this freeware/beta that Red Gate released to the public right after it acquired the SQL Prompt software from a company (who was giving it away for free). This application brings intellisense/code completion to Sql Server- Management Studio, Query Analyzer, Editpad (I think), etc. They realized that they were going to have to make substantial changes to the codebase in order to optimize it to their standards; so in the meantime, the current version of SQL Prompt was offered up for free. I havent been able to find this anywhere else, so- here it is: the original freeware version of Red Gate Software’s SQL Prompt. Its a beta type version, but works very well as far as I’ve used it. It requires no license because it was released as freeware. Download it here.

Visual Basic Control Creation Edition – VB5_CCE.zip
Sometimes useful apps disappear from the web. I was looking for this guy recently, and finally tracked down the installer on an old hard drive I have. This application was offered as a freebie by Microsoft. It’s basically the ‘Express’ version of VB5, intended to be used solely for creating ActiveX controls. Its a great lightweight IDE if you find yourself needing to edit some pre-.net vb code, or, in fact, creating an ActiveX control. Couldn’t find the sucker anywhere, so thought I would be charitable and make it available. Cheers.
