Vitaly, WOW, what a nice and powerful product. :Thmbsup:

I'm not doing a project containing C# at the moment (though I have some lying around), but I'm looking forward to test-drive BugAid, and, depending on funding availability, buying a license.

Sigh... You're killing me...

I've been dying to get back into coding mode, and this is only fueling that!

(Stuck in marketing mode ATM.)

Looks super sexy though! I can't wait to try it in a month or 2 when I can free myself of some stuff.

I know the feeling :)
During some time in a big software company, in which I was coding about 2-3 lines a week, I started to get weird hand-shakes. Feeling relieved only after I started coding at home.

Anyway, when you're back to code-world, try us out and let me know if you have any questions!

And *that's* why I turn down any promotions to management.  No amount of money is worth losing the enjoyment of coding- I've tried it and I don't like it. :)

But *this* I will be trying as soon as our release is done (don't want to chance any new things on my system at *this* stage :))

Hey guys,

We've added a new license model to BugAid - It is now free for open-source projects!
Since quite a few of you are donating your coding time, I am sure it might be useful to at least some of you.

You can apply for a free license here.

Enjoy!

Sounds good. If I make something opensource some time, I'll make sure to apply and give it a whirl!

(Oh, you may want to fix the typo in the opening post. It says exactly the opposite of what you want it to say! :D)

Bugaid really accuratly identified some of the debugging pain point. I was dubious about what benefits you could bring but the video makes this totally clear. Breaking to a specific iteration of a loop is something I do really often. I only do C++ so I'll pass on this, but for professional C# coders that looks like an awesome tool.
