Our annual Readers Choice Awards are chosen by you, the reader. This year you voted for the best products in 22 categories. (Note that Microsoft products are excluded from the survey as these awards are intended to recognize the integral role third-party components play in Visual Studio development.)

The special Editors Choice Award is selected by the magazine's editors and gives a nod to a product that doesn't fit easily into one of the standard categories.

Our congratulations to all of this year's winners.
-Patrick Meader, Editor in Chief, Visual Studio Magazine
