    Searchable code repository

    Hello,

    Currently i an looking for deploying a searchable code repository within my organization.
    The code repository will list source code in varity of programming languages and ideally should be arranged with the task the source code is performing.

    For example: A user will submit his code snippet for "registry modifications" in say VB. Somebody else doing the same in C# etc.

    Are there any tools you are aware of?

    I will not prefer a open-source tool, but say a tool which is particularly designed for corporates and should get support if we are not able to use it fully,

    It sounds like you are talking about a CodeLibrary. Why don't you just build your own? That way, you could totally configure it for your exact needs rather than try and "shape" someone else's app to fit those needs.

    Shaping somebody else's application is not mandatory.
    What i am stressing is that i need a tool which is really generic, and used accross by many.

    I still think you would be better off building your own, but, after quite a lengthy Google session (that is not much out there that I saw that fits your bill), I did find this. Hope it helps.

    There is another source code library product out there that I really like (although I made my own Code Library years and years ago, and still use it), but it advertises as being specific to VB/VBA.

    It comes with all sorts of routines for both, but I'm guessing you could store other code tips/snippets from other languages in it. If you want a link to that, let me know.

    Thanks!
    As you mentioned, it is indeed for VB more.
    You mentioned you developed your own code library. Is it available for sale?
    If you can send over the links.
    Problem is that it is a corporate codebank, so there will be ppl accessing it.

    No, this is just something that I, and I alone use. However, making it a company wide application would seem as simple as switching from an Access database, which I currently use, to SQL Server or Oracle.

    I have a TreeView control which lists all of my source categories (i.e., SQL, C#, Visual Basic, Java, VBScript, ASP, Tips, etc. Once you have expdanded one of the above "root" treelines, all of the nodes under that "root" are displayed. Right next to the Treeview is a Richtextbox which displays the contents of whatever TreeView child node you clicked on.

    It is pretty simple, and works for me. My search function needs some serious work, but I can get by with it. It wouldn't take you that long to build I don't think, and then all you would have to do is rollout the VB front end to everyone.

    Re: Searchable code repository

    I've come up with 392 project samples, mostly from this forum of VB code that I made into projects. Most have a zip file of the folder, and it currently is 100Mb counting everything. All but a few of them are redistributable.
