FREE .Net Controls


Question

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

Hey Guys,

Lets resurect this thread now that Visual Studio Express 2008 has been released, has anyone got any new controls they want to add.

Large

I released an open source SplitButton control a while ago. It's written in C#:

SplitButton in C#

Also, I don't recall ever seeing this posted, but here's a good open source FTP library (also written in c#):

Silly question, but I guess here is the best place to ask it...do these .NET controls work with the Express Editions of Visual Studio (2008 in particular) or are they locked to the paid for editions?

Hi Xerxes, they are not limited to any paid versions of Visual Studio because they are open source controls which can be freely used in any place without giving credit to me (of course it's nice if there's my name in credits but don't have to)

Project now contains some new controls:

Cloud ProgressBar

Cloud ButtonList (not quite finished but working)

Not sure if this has been posted before, but Microsoft have an awesome Chart control as a FREE download for ASP.Net / Winforms.

It is easily as good as the Commerical stuff if not better.

How about a free IDE with a ton of free add-ons?

 

Visual Studio 2015 Community RC is available today - it does everything VS 2013 Community does, and some things it can't.  Better yet, the cost is STILL zero.

The last reply was months ago, but perhaps you like this free controls with a Community License:

https://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense

I am using it with VS 2015 and you can also build commercial applications.

:yes:

 

  Quote

Who is eligible?

Individual developers or up to five users at companies with annual gross revenue below $1 million USD.

Can the products be used to build commercial applications?

Yes.

How long are the licenses valid ?

The community licenses do not expire. You will continue to receive support and updates for new versions.

---------------------------

In case anyone wants to complain, my vote is that Necro Posting is just fine if it provides useful information.

I have never used this product but the offer mirrors the VS2015 license and is a legitimate (i.e. it is not spam) notice.

Thanks for the link.

    • Exactly. Use it is fine, but copyright is another story...
    • Not really, I am pretty hot at the moment and tomorrow I will be even hotter as the U.K are some hot days. Not looking forward to work. I just don't want to connect my computer to MS servers, I have no need to, the same with my Mac not being connected to Apple Servers. I have no need for MS or Apple accounts.
    • Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
    • Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
