I sadly have to work in the vb6 ide more than i prefer.
I am totally spoiled by the use of Resharper when working with C# in VS2010.
So my question is: Are there any tools out there extending the VB6 ide?
What i miss most are the navigation features like
Find usages
Goto Type
Goto File
and so on.
I don't know if they support those features, but the two tools I've heard recommended are CodeSMART and MZ-Tools.
You could try MZ Tools. That has a very satisfactory "find" function. Not sure about Goto Type or Goto File, though. (I use MZ Tools myself.)
The Zeus IDE can import VB6 projects and it can do class browsing, file and type navigation.

there is currently maxscript programming support inside sublime text.
I was wondering bacause now the syntax highlighting and everything alreay exists for maxscript, how to go about it to make maxscript a supported programming language inside other ide's or editors?
The jetbrains applications comes to mind first (webstorm etc.)
or even inside open online IDE's like Ace of Codemirror.
Because that would be great.
Does anyone knows if that is at all possible, and how to do that?
None of JetBrains IDEs provide support for maxscript:(, and I'm not aware of any custom plugins for this language.
If all you need is a basic syntax highlighting, you can either try searching for MaxSript textmate bundles (see Is it possible to get Ruby syntax highlighting in PHPStorm?) or register your own file type, defining a syntax highlighting for it (http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/webhelp/new-file-type.html).
If none of these options look suitable for you, try developing your own language plugins - see http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Developing+Custom+Language+Plugins+for+IntelliJ+IDEA
I would recommend Microsoft Visual Studio Code with MaxScript syntax plugin. The syntax highlighting and overall coding experience is close to perfect.
Example of MaxScript syntax highlighting you may see here:
Does anyone know if the code editor used by VSTO IDE is available to use in my own projects?
I need to use a code editor in my project. I Googled to try to find one, but I found several third party solutions (pay or free) but they don't fit my needs.
In same way as Webbrowser control, is the "sourcecodeeditor" control of VSTO available to use as a project component?

Exists the class "MSVSTOSourceCodeEditor"? This is the question. Thanks
Unfortunately, no. Microsoft doesn't allow you to subclass its source code editor, nor do they provide a version for use in your own projects. As I mentioned before, they don't really want to encourage you to rewrite Visual Studio. They'd prefer that you bought it instead!
Have you considered creating a plug-in or extension for Visual Studio instead? It's a little bit different way of going about it, but it just might work for you. Your developers might find it more convenient since they won't have to switch back and forth between two programs.
If you're really set on rolling your own custom solution, probably the best thing to do is check the source code for some of the open-source, Visual Studio-style IDEs, and see how they've written the code editor:
MonoDevelop
SharpDevelop
KDevelop
There's any number of questions about MSIL on SO but none that directly answer this.
I've been using Textpad which does have a syntax definition file for MSIL and then using ILASM in a command prompt window.
I did find a reference to ILIDE but the link is broken.
Is there an IDE or add-on / plugin to Visual Studio / Eclipse for MSIL that allows syntax highlighting, intellisense, code completion, debugging etc.?
Use MonoDevelop
You can build specially MSIL projects. It's very useful for these issues, also you can use it in both Windows and Linux. What is better than this? :)
I made an extension for Visual Studio 2010 that supports syntax highlighting for IL files (.il) and includes projects with full debugging support for C#, F# and Visual Basic that support embedding and calling IL code directly.
IL Support extension
Enjoy!
I believe you can do it in #develop IDE.
No intellisense though.
I have exactly the same question!
I have found ilide eventually :
http://nida.se/ilide/
(note : strangely, some links to ilide are broken, some of them even mentioning earlier links that are broken , but then supply a link that's broken too. I was able to dowload it and Installed it succesfully from the link above though).
further :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=112895
seems a very good debugger.
cheers, ph
xacc.ide has syntax highlighting for MSIL, and another odd 20 .NET languages.
See some screenshots here.
IIRC, Visual Studio will give you debugging, if you assemble with /debug.
I think MS had a demo or sample of some VS plugin that helped a bit with IL. I'm not sure what it was named or if it was released.
This question probably looks a lot like IDE for ironpython on windows question here on stackoverflow. But I read the answers on that question I still have no idea what IDE I should use. What I'm looking for is to know pros and cons of a specific IDE.
I recently started learning IronPython. The only IDE I used so far is IronPython Studio that integrates with Visual Studio. It was a logical choice for me because I use Visual Studio when I work with C#.
One of the problem I have with IronPython Studio is that I cannot change the default colors. I have a dark gray background color and black Python code doesn't look very good on that background. I looked in Environment->Fonts and Colors in Option dialog but couldn't find the option to change IronPython colors. Let it be my side question:
How to change default colors in integrated IronPython Studio?
I heard about SharpDevelop but I don't know if it's going to be a big improvement of IronPython Studio. I decided to ask you before I'll try it.
So please could you please let me know of pros and cons of your favorite IronPython IDE. Don't tell me "I use XYZ IDE and love it". I want to know why you love it and what it's missing.
Thanks
Michael Foord has compared different IDEs for IronPython. You can find it here.
Most of the time I use Scite for my IronPython scripting -- since I'm normally using it as a scripting language for build process rather than anything else, one page of syntax highlighting is usually enough.
As a general purpose Python IDE I use NetBeans Python EA, which treats CPython, Jython and IronPython pretty much as equals, so I can just set it to the platform I want to use today, and everything else remains the same.
You now have a good Visual studio 2010 integration with IronPython Tools.
I've just installed CodeGear Studio 2009 and I didn`t find where I can put the Intellisense and code hints on.
And, by the way, in Visual Studio we can indent selected blocks of code in the same way. How can I use similar functions in CodeGear?
Any ideas about that?
It's called Code Insight. I don't have 2009 yet but it's probably in the same place as 2007. Have a look in Tools > Options > Editor Options > Code Insight.
By the way, it's no where near as good as Intellisense in VS.
The generic name is called "code completing", intellisense and insight are just catching marketing spun names companies use.
even after I`ve relaunched it with all points of CodeInsight turned on I found out that there was no result((
