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#:

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:

 

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 really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
