Hello All,

Hope all is having a cool holiday season...

I am looking for a code validation tool for VB.NET. It should be able to
point out variables that are not in use as well as ways to make existing
code faster among other things.... Perhaps it can even detect memory
leakage....

Does anyone know of a tool like this for the .Net platform? For a while, I
have been searching the net without success....

Thanks in advance,
Chris H

I think the garbage collector was designed to cut out the problem of memory
leakage.
 
You might want to look at FXCop, which is pretty nice, I don't know how well
it works with mem leaks, but it does do some nice features for code
improvement.

DevPartner Studio has code checking in VB.NET. It has quite a few other
features, as well.

You will find some tools for testing here:

Just using this tool for a half day I know I got my moneys worth... I only
paid for the Pro version and it included all the add-ins i need. It is
amazingly flexible. I am surprised on that it can report about simple
savings if I use VbNullString vs "" and for example...if LenB("ffff") = 0 is
faster than if "ffff" = ""

It can note unessessary scoping issues where for example a
procedure/variable don't have to be declared Public....

It is smart enough to tell me of possible tab problems on my forms as well
things like forms that is able to resize but does not have resize code...

The latest version works for .Net 2002 and 2003 and If you are using VB3-6,
it can help you to prepare for .Net.

There is so much more to to this program... You can't go wrong.
