How do you keep your code? 1

[vb5prgrmr]

I have been looking at my hard drives and the amount of code that I have (all over the place) and have finally started on creating a db app to keep it all in one place, but what I would like to know from the rest of you is...

What option and features (NOT MS Features) would you add to something like this?

Or if you have created something like this what did you add?

Here is some of what I have so far ...

Multiple languages (i.e. vb, C/C+/C++/VC++, javascript ect.)
Multiple db's (access and or sql)
db sync (move records from one to another)
Export to Zip

With VB I have
Object Tracking/Listing
References Tracking/Listing
and on import a parsing that looks for Const's, API's, and Type's to add to a keyword field.

and the obvoius addnew, edit, delete

Oh yeah the ability to add dropins (kind of like addins)

So what else could I add or do?

Thanks for you time in reading this.

Thanks, have a

vb5prgrmr -

Have you looked at NDoc? It's a sourceforge project for creating documentation for .NET projects. While I realize you're using VB6, the thought I had was that it produces very nice documentation (HTML Help, CHM files, etc) for your code. If you were to include some feature like that in your "code repository" that would be helpful in locating that teeny bit of code that does the one thing you're looking for.

chiph, no haven't used it, but have heard of it somewhere before. Probably an add in one of the e-trade mags I get. I'll have to see if I can find some documentation on it at the web site (it has been awhile).
