FREE .Net Controls

[Large]

Hi OOP Mateys,

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that contains locations to FREE .Net controls, so I'll start the ball rolling with the new Power Pack I just found !

The VB.Net Power Pack over at Microsoft is a free download containing 7 new controls including Blending Panels and Notification Windows.

Link : VB.Net Power Pack

The Power Pack can also be used in C# !

They are a great addition to your .Net toolbox and they are free !

Enjoy ! :D

The Power Pack controls are available for download from the Visual Basic Power Pack GotDotNet Workspace. The download includes the complete source code for the controls, this article, and a small sample application.

Look down the article and find the heading ' AN OVERVIEW OF THE POWER PACK CONTROLS ' then two lines below that you will see a link to gotdotnet which is where you can download the controls !

Kind Regards

Would be nice if the thread title gets ambiguized, since these are .NET controls and not VB.Net controls.

Thanks.

Anyway, makes me wonder why Microsoft called that PowerPack "VB Power Pack", since I used it in C# already.

[Large]

I have edited my top post to suit the changed title, I have also add that the Power Pack can be used in C# as well !

Kind Regards

Free Web Controls

Metabuilders.com - About 30 web controls

Timothy Humphrey Web Controls

FreeTextBox

skmMenu

Other Good Links

.Net Toolbox - Nice collection of the best .Net tools

Microsoft Application Blocks

ASP.Net Source Projects

ASP.Net Starter Kits

Not so Free Controls

PeterBlum.com - A couple of free controls, but the Validation and More and Date Package's are both excellent($50/server for the Date Package and $100/server for Validation and More). They are not free, but the amount of functionality you get for the price is amazing, definitely worth considering on any commercial project.
