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.

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.

    • I'll have to buy again half of my Xbox games to play them on PC because they are not "play anywhere" titles.
    • Good luck running your Xbox games on PC handheld.

    • Hehe, Outer Worlds was the first game that was like "We've noticed you've been dying a lot recently, do you want to get this free perk that will make you die less, but will make your stamina go down faster by 7% ?" One of better games I've ever played and I actually found it by chance on Reddit or something. Didn't know it existed, it was released for a while at that point and I decided to give it a try since I like RPG's with guns more over RPG's with swords and bows. And I absolutely loved it so I can't wait for its sequel. After disappointment of Starfield that was too big and too generic, Outer Worlds 2 will hopefully just be a bit larger single solar system with unique planets in it just like the first one. It was such a good concept. Year 2025 is really loaded with so many awesome games and more to come!
    • Gears of War: Reloaded multiplayer beta kicks off this weekend, here's how to get access by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft announced Gears of War: Reloaded earlier this year, unveiling a complete remaster of the first game in the hit action franchise that lets players jump into the classic with a fresh coat of paint. Today during the Xbox Games Showcase, the $40 experience was given another look, and a couple of betas were revealed too. The multiplayer beta will be kicking off on June 13 and ending on June 15 as the first of the weekend access events. The next multiplayer beta will begin on June 20 and run through June 22. The first weekend will feature classic team deathmatch across Gridlock, Raven Down, and Gold Rush maps. Next, the second weekend is adding on the King of the Hill mode on the map Canals. Team deathmatch will still be running this weekend too, and Courtyard and War Machine will be added to the roster. Unfortunately, these aren't open betas, but Microsoft revealed three ways players can jump into the experience to try it out. First off, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition digital owners will receive an invite without having to do anything. All Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers are gaining access for no extra cost too. Lastly, anyone who has pre-ordered Gears of War: Reloaded will gain access to the multiplayer beta as well. For those who missed it, the remaster is touting 4K 60FPS in the campaign, 120FPS in multiplayer, enhanced assets and effects, improved shadows, zero loading screens, crossplay, and more features. Check out our original coverage for all the information. Gears of War: Reloaded launches on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Cloud Gaming on August 26, 2025. It will also be a day one release on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions for no extra cost. Moreover, Gears of War: Reloaded will be a free upgrade to all Gears of War: Ultimate Edition owners. It needs to have been purchased prior to May 5, 2025 though.
