We’ve just put online the latest beta of the Steel IDE for programmming  
Ruby  
in Visual Studio 2005.  
The principal new features are:

Rails New Project Wizard  
Automated database setup  
Rails Solution Explorer  
Synchronize Solution Explorer  
Open Command Prompt in selected directory  
Import/upgrade Rails and Ruby projects  
Build to check syntax errors  
Rails Toolbar and Menu  
Start Server Dialog  
Generate Controller/Model/Scaffold/Other  
Run Gems dialog  
Integrated SQL Server development  
Configure Ruby and database path options  
Extra Ruby and Rails colour coding options  
File properties / flags  
Project properties (select from Project/Properties menu)  
Pre-Build and Post-Build Events

These features are in addition to the editing (syntax colouring, code  
collapsing etc.) and Ruby debugging (breakpoints, watches, locals,  
autos,  
call stack, step into/step over) which we released in earlier versions.

Steel can be downloaded from the Sapphire In Steel site:

I hope you enjoy it!

best wishes

Impressive. Visual Studio is a nice IDE. Too bad I sold my copy of VS  
just a few weeks ago. Ah, but only use Linux now anyway.

Just the same, nice work.
