Collection Generator

Featured Download

The Collection Generator application generates .Net Framework source code for non-generic collections, generic collections, comparers and wrappers. The Collection Generator provides a wizard based user interface that is used to capture the relevant generator properties. The wizard has two operational modes, it can be launched by the Visual Studio add-in provided by Blayd Software or it can be launched as a standalone application. The standalone operational mode is provided for users who do not have Visual Studio installed on their machine or users who prefer to generate their source code separately from their Visual Studio sessions.

When first installed, the Collection Generator may be used in evaluation mode for a period of 14 days.

  • Generate source code for non-generic collections, generic collections, comparers and wrappers in any .Net Framework language (that supports collections, indexers, etc.).
  • Simple wizard based user interface that can be used as a standalone application or integrated into Visual Studio using the supplied add-in.
  • Whilst running in evaluation mode the wizard is fully functional i.e. all of the wizard's functionality may be used and evaluated, however, some base class and generation property combinations are restricted to view only.
