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 agree and AMD have done very little to shake up the gpu market, if Intel gets back in the game, I hope it could be a boost to the apu market as AMD are in the lead but the pricing is crazy high.
    • Oh no, god forbit you put actual effort into your work.
    • OpenAI asks employees to reject Meta's "ridiculous" poaching offers in stern memo by Usama Jawad OpenAI is the place to be right now, especially for prolific engineers who are willing to join CEO Sam Altman in the quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It seems that its rivals have recognized that OpenAI's biggest strength is its employees too, and there have been multiple reports that Meta is poaching its staffers. In fact, Altman himself mentioned recently that Meta is hiring his company's members by offering them up to $100 million in signing bonuses. The company obviously isn't pleased with this situation and has asked its staffers in an internal memo to reject any advances from Meta in the weeks to come. Wired (paywall) reports that OpenAI's Chief Research Officer Mark Chen has published a memorandum in the company's Slack, likening the poaching situation to someone breaking into OpenAI's home and stealing from them. Chen further stated that he will be working with senior leadership including Altman to figure out ways to reward employees with Meta offers in hand with financial compensation and even adjust their overall compensation figures. That said, the executive emphasized that his primary aim is to retain top talent. Chen also quoted messages from seven other senior members of OpenAI's research team with guidance about how to tackle the situation if Meta tries to hire them. One of the advice included asking Meta recruiters to back off if they try to pressurize them with "ridiculous" offers. It is important to note that OpenAI employees have reportedly been struggling with intensive 80-hour work-weeks recently and the company will largely experience a shutdown period next week so that its staffers can recharge. OpenAI believes that this period is also vulnerable for its members as Meta will likely ramp up its hiring efforts during this break. Chen reminded OpenAI employees that they should focus on their main quest, which is achieving AGI, and that confrontations with Meta during this difficult period are just side quests. It is unclear how responsive OpenAI staffers will be to the memo's instructions in the coming days, especially when stacking it up against the reported multi-million compensation offers from Meta. Zuckerberg is even reaching out to some OpenAI employees personally, with the most recent report indicating that Meta had hired four senior OpenAI researchers for its superintelligence lab.
