Awhile back, Omar posted about one of my big pet peeves about Visual Studio: thefactthat the “Build Clean” function doesn’t actually clean thebuild. Instinctively, I’d expect this to do something rational (likeclean out all the intermediate build artifacts) – but no, it just sitsthere doing nothing.

Fast-forward to now, and he’s built a little shell extension called CleanSourcesthat does what VS.NET purports to do, but doesn’t. From Omar’swiki: This Application does one thing. It addsan explorer shell menu to folders that when selected will recursively deletethe contents of the bin, obj and setup folders. If you have a .NET project thatyou wish to share with some one, this is useful to remove the unnecessary stufffrom the folder before you zip it up and send it off.

+1for Omar. Thanks, man.
