I find it strange that people go for
NUnit
[11] ad
TestDriven.NET
[12]. The reason is that MbUnit is more powerful (even for simpler stuff like comparing two numbers) and the fact that ReSharper's unit testing support (for example, the Gallio plug-in) looks good and delivers. My test framework is thus NBehave + MbUnit.

I like to use
MZ Tools

Coincedentally, a lot of the tools I use have redundant features.

Moq
[1]. It is a wonderful
mocking
[2] framework that is clean, effective and guides you into the pit of success regardless of what you are doing. The later version have added
Silverlight
[3] support and is highly configurable. I strongly suggest you check it out.
Another tool I have been enjoying lately is
Notepad2
[4]. It is very similar to
Notepad++
[5] (based on the same editor code base) which has been mentioned here numerous times. It provides syntax highlighting and most features that you would expect for an enhanced
Notepad
[6] (regular expression search, auto indentation and
Unicode
[7] support).
To round out the tools I would pick
Gallio
[8] (with
MbUnit
[9]) as a testing framework. It has a great deal of features built in and can support multiple testing libraries (
NUnit
[10],
xUnit
[11],
MSTest
[12] as a start). Within the core set of tools is integration with Visual Studio and both
GUI
[13] and commandline test runners. MBUnit that comes with Gallio is also very handy and provides a great deal of the convenience features that help make testing a breeze.

I would recommend

Also, make sure to get
SOSEX.dll

PSSCOR2.dll

So the big three are:

.NET Reflector
[1]
-
ReSharper
[2]
-
TestDriven.NET

I won't be updating the list any longer.

When doing work with regular expressions, I find
Kodos
[1] to be very useful.

That list is VERY long. The best place I've found to go to find stuff is
CodePlex
[1].
My humble recommendation: Find a few hours on the weekend, get yourself a cup of coffee, get your favorite slippers on and surf the site. You may very well find yourself there all day. {-o)

It's got to be
.NET Reflector
[1]. It is great for decompiling assemblies and seeing how things work.

I've always used the
Regular Expression Workbench
[1] from Eric Gunnerson. It is great for all your
regular expression

I use:
- ReShaper - Who could live without it?
- AnkhSVN - It should be a part of VS (oh, they got their own tool)
- GhostDoc - Simple and fast
- StyleCop - To keep me within borders
- FxCop - My manager complain less when he get some of it's output...

Some kind of versioncontrol (must have for any software development). Possible candidates: SVN, CVS, Perforce, GIT, ClearCase, VSS, ...

All the obvious ones (Reflector, Resharper, VS & TFS Power Commands, ILMerge, etc)
Plus:
-
AtomineerUtils
[1] add in for Visual Studio (for documentation comments)
-
AraxisMerge
[2] (I've tried 'em all, and this is the only diff/merge that I trust)
