Free Developer Tools from Nukeation

These are coming out as soon as I find some time to iron out some bugs:

First is NukeControls - which has had some additions and some removals. More on that soon.

Second is a tool I wanted Microsoft to give, but they didn't. A visual editor for .sitemap files. When Beta 2 was going to come out (or had come out, I don't remember exactly) I had asked Scott Guthrie when he was on .NET Rocks! if Microsoft planned to add such a designer in the RTM version. Unfortunately, they couldn't. Scott said they would do it in the next version probably. If you are managing a site with more than 10 pages and 3 levels, you know it can be gruesome going through all that XML code by hand. In comes Nukeation Mapee™ a cool visual editor. I've used this tool for my own work, but I want it to be more easy. Right now it's external. You can configure Visual Studio to open .sitemap via Mapee. Right now it uses a standard TreeView for the visualization. I'm thinking of either writing my own UML style graphically editable UI, or get some 3rd party control. If not too much trouble, I will turn it into an actual Visual Studio designer (a bona fide add-in). I also want to add auto-recognition - it scans the web app directory and makes a full sitemap by itself.

Mapee 1.0, the one using TreeView should be released this coming week along with nukeControls 0.8.
