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

Here's a list of submissions so far . . .

Magic UI. The current version requires payment, but the previous versions were free (with source). The best part about this is that it's also free for commercial use.

Docking

Tab Control

Wizard

Menu

Note: All these pages lead to the same download file, but each explains each component.

I have used a few OSS projects in my commercial program (checked the license on each one, they can all be used in commercial applications). I have rounded up everything I have used and put information from them into my SDK (still in progress, but getting closer to release).

Here is the quick list. If you would like to read more about each project, click on the link at the bottom of this entry. That contains links to the project home pages.

Atom.NET (handle Atom feeds, stock version supports 0.3, Xjs.Atom branch adds Atom 1.0 -09 support)

RSS.NET (handle RSS.NET feeds, pretty much every version, Xjs.Rss branch adds Dublin Core (dc:) and various fixes)

HtmlAgilityPack (fix bad html, parse like xml using xpath)

Mvp.Xml (XPathDocument w/InnerXml and OuterXml, XInclude, XPointer, etc.)

SgmlReader (like HtmlAgilityPack, but it has more bugs..., many of which are fixed in Xjs.Sgml)

NetSpell (Spell checker for anything, I use it in my Visual Html control)

CoolDownloader (Batch downloader w/progress bar, Xjs.Downloading includes some CPU use fixes)

edtFTPnet (FTP in .NET)

HtmlEditorControl (WYSIWYG Html editing/viewing, version in XJS embeds a spell checker)

Windows WIA and TWAIN (Scanner support for new and old Windows respectively, I use both. If WIA fails, it tries to use TWAIN)

GlacialControls (embed controls into a listView, like progress bars)

DirectX.Capture (Capture video and save it to file, like from a webcam)

DirectShowLib (Access DirectShow from .NET)

To find out more information on each project, go here:

Ok, I came accross another really good library

The Netron Project (Graphing, diagramming, etc.)

Just click on the link to my SDK above to find out more. The Netron Project is really a top-notch open source project.

Here is a picture of the plugin I adapted from The Netron Project in use:

Hey guys, as I have just released 1.3 of XJS I would like to add 3 more controls that I have used.

MonthCalendar

This is a better version than that which is included in .NET (imo).

MozBar

This is a toolbar-like control that gives you a bar like you find in the Firefox options pane.

XPPanel

This provides a colapsible panel like what you can find on the side of Windows Explorer.

PureComponents NicePanel

http://www.purecomponents.com/products/nicepanel/

"PureComponents NicePanel is container component of active look, which will enrich your applications. NicePanel has header and footer, which widen its usage. Using gradient fill and color schemes you can easily and quickly set nice look, which can be further enhanced with images from integrated Clip Art or from file."

Works with vb.net and c#. It's free but needs registration to get license key.

I think it works with vs 2005 too. :D

VB Guy: Looks nice!

Another release of XJS, another revision of my OSS documentation. I have two new additions, SmartThreadPool and ScheduledTimer.

The other big thing I did was go through all the projects and make sure that no matter what I have some kind of note on the license. Before, there was only a note if I could link to the license (LGPL, etc.). Now, every project has a note about the license. This ranges from a link to the license from the source files. This kind of documentation is very important to me and I am sure others.

Here is the link: OSS from the XJS SDK

Everything in XJS Tools now works in Mono. The last project from XJS Tools to get the re-fitting was the spell checker. Everything does as of Mono 1.1.9.

that comes standard in VisualStudio 2005. If you're not planning on going to 2005 then uhh.. dunno where to get one :)

edit: huh.. cool controls over there, though. they are all open source. maybe someone will find the time to convert them.

Well, if you've got a compiled DLL, and they have not used an obfuscator, fire up trusty reflector and use one of the available add-ins and generate the source in c#. Create a new project and then compile. Easy.

out of curiousity, what difference does it make if it's written in VB.NET? once it is compiled, the resulting assembly can be used by any .NET application.

I recently found a library called "iTextSharp" which you can use from within C# to generate PDF, RTF and XML files.

Completely free and without any ad's.. quite a cool thing :D

You can find it at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

  Quote
iText# (iTextSharp) is a port of the iText open source java library written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. iText# is a library that allows you to generate PDF files on the fly. It is implemented as an assembly.
