So I just published CopyPasteKiller, a free tool that helps .Net developers working with large code bases find all the places that another developer used the time honored practice of Copy-Paste Inheritance. Or sometimes the code base is so big that it is easy duplicate functionality without actually copying and pasting. Either way, CopyPasteKiller is a fast way to hunt down similar chunks of code so that they can be refactored.

CopyPasteKiller currently only works with C# and VB.NET code and isn't the most polished tool in the world, but it'll get the job done. I hope you find it useful, if you have any questions/comments/bugs please feel free to email me directly at von@nitriq.com.

You can find the download and more details here.

It sounds great, it's exactly what I want to use to find duplicated code (and fine the code owner). Duplicated code make us sick. Thanks.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Nitriq is a Code Analysis Tool for .Net Developers. It helps you visualize your code and quickly find types and methods that need refactoring.
It is currently in a free public beta, but will have reasonable prices once the bugs are worked out.
I'll be using this blog to talk about .Net, C#, WPF, ASP.NET, Nitriq and MicroISVs.
