Create Superior Code with Total Visual CodeTools
VIENNA, VA – December 8, 2004 – FMS, Inc. announced today the release of
Total Visual CodeTools 2003, its next generation of the popular code
development tool which supports Microsoft Office/Access versions 2000
through 2003. Designed specifically for developers using Access, Visual
Basic, or any VBA platform, Total Visual CodeTools is a collection of
professional code-centric tools and utilities that help ensure coding
standards, reduce development time, eliminate errors, and create more
robust applications.
Integrated directly into the VB/VBA
Integrated Development Environment, Total Visual CodeTools offers a rich
set of enterprise-enabled coding tools. Code Cleanup standardizes
existing code at the procedure, module or project level so that
inherited projects are easier to understand and handle errors better.
Code Delivery prepares your code for distribution with options to
obfuscate and add line numbers to dramatically improve the understanding
of bug reports and fixing them. Code Builders such as the New Procedure
Builder and SQL Text builder help you quickly write pieces of code
conforming to your standards. Multi-user features support sharing of
coding standards for the entire development team.
“Total Visual CodeTools makes it easy
to implement professional standards for more maintainable applications,”
said Luke Chung, FMS president and founder. “With Total Visual
CodeTools, you can takeover an existing application, add custom error
handling to every procedure that lacks it, and deploy applications that
pinpoint the exact line where crashes occur. This makes it much easier
to gracefully handle bugs, reproduce them, and fix them.”
Total Visual CodeTools 2003 includes
several new Code Builders:
- Copy Control Builder
Duplicates code for events from one control to another
- Format Builder
Simplify the use of the Format command and its many options
- DateDiff Builder
Simplify the use of the DateDiff command and its many options.
"With Total Visual CodeTools, you can
slip standards in as part of a productivity tool set - and expect that
people will actually conform,” said Mike Gunderloy in issue 3.2 of “Smart
Access eXTRA”. ”Also worth a look if you ever expect to go back and
try to maintain your own code. Don't overlook the Help file either -
rather than just describing the product, it's also got a long and useful
section on VBA best practices."
