MathCast is an equation editor, an application that allows you to input mathematical equations. These equations can be used in written documents and webpages. The equations can be rendered graphically to the screen, to picture files, or to MathML - today's leading standard language for describing mathematics.
MathCast is a free and open source application. Feel free to use it to help your studies, to add mathematics to your website, etc.

It's a good tool to write mathematical expressions. Hence, voted 5

LINQPad is a free tool and can be downloaded from here
http://www.linqpad.net/[^]
Eventhough the name is LINQPad, apart from testing LINQ expressions, it is an excellent tool to quickly test C#, VB statements and small programs.

Looks great. Much faster for testing simple little statements in C# rather than running my app and putting a break point.
Thanks.

is quite fast and the files on the hard disk can be searched using regular expressions, however only on the File Name.

Smartpaster[^] allows you to paste as stringbuilder for example.
Extremely useful when you're inlining SQL code.

Reading the page suggests that it is going to paste a text block using StringBuilder which I can only assume means something like the following?
StringBuilder sb =..
sb.append("stuff");
sb.append(" other stuff");
That idiom of course isn't efficient for static text compared to...
String s = "stuff"
+ " other stuff";

Looking at the code, it can paste either way or as a comment.

This question is not meant to be "picky-picky:" and I, personally, have no experience with the OP's mentioned use-case of "in-lining SQL," but, I think comparing a very brief example of using an example of StringBuilder versus string concatenation using "+" ... in "flat code:" i.e., outside a loop ... is not that particularly meaningful because: hypotheses:
1. it ignores the probable fact that at some point the StringBuilder will be converted to a string, which is going to cost you some cycles ?
2. at such a small scale of test, performance differences will be minuscule ... perhaps not even mensurable ?
The main place I use StringBuilder is in loops that are parsing files, and doing something that's going to create a huge bunch of characters.
It is rare, in my experience, to encounter other people's code where there are really long examples of string concatenation outside loops using "+," and code that does concatenation within the loop, using "+," in my experience, will be usually quite short.
I will try PasteBuilder, and see what it does for me

Just spotted this: not had a chance to check it out but looks like it could be very useful: ninite[^].
[UPDATE] As has been pointed out by Bill (see next post) this does not appear to be free even though the home page implies or appears to show that it is free - my apologies - I posted it before I had a chance to properly read all of the information.
I'll leave it here with this caveat in case it does help anyone.

Appreciate it if you would at least give a very basic description of what the product does before posting the link to it here.
This appears not to be free: "Ninite Updater starts at just $9.99 for one year on a single machine.""
thanks, Bill

Hmm: yes: I did say I hadn't had a chance to properly check it out (was passed to me by someone else). Certainly hadn't spotted it was not free: the main page seems to imply that it is. Darn! Won't remove it but will update the post and apologies.
Have 5ed you for spotting my error: thanks.

I have 2 registry export files. I want to compare them to see what changed. Can someone recommend a tool?
Thanks

I have it. But I don't understand how to use it to compare 2 files.

I like a free program I found a while ago. It's called WinMerge and it works very well for file comparison.
sorry, previous post had wrong file name.
