Couple of .NET related items....
ComputerZen is recompiling his ULTIMATE TOOL LIST!!! (should be spoken with loud deep voice, using a reverb affect, and a good sound system -- thunder is optional).
One nice like off of the site is this link to Jeff Key. He has a really nice page of .NET utilities, code samples, and some documented words of wisdom. A couple of nice ones of his are a MessageDlg with custom buttons, and a .NET snipit compiler.
Now, for the GASP!!!! CodeSmith is going COMMERCIAL!!!! There is a new web site: http://www.codesmithtools.com/ announcing version 3.0, which will be strictly for pay! Standard addition will be $99, Professional will be $399. (if you buy now, you can get it for $49 or $299).
Of course, version 2.6 will remain freeware.
My opinion: it is a great tool, he has obviously put a LOT of work into it, it is obviously professional quality (I use it regularly), it probably should be a commercial tool. It is just sad to see these projects grow up so quickly (sniff)! I just wish the price would stay of $49 instead of jumping to $99. I will probably buy the thing anyway.

There has been a Professional version of CodeSmith for as long as I know. It was $79.95 and includes the CodeSmith Studio (template IDE). The freeware version could be used for profit previously, but businesses and individuals were encouraged to purchase it to support CodeSmith. My guess is not enough people purchased the professional version when the freeware version fit their needs.
