The ultimate list of freely available .NET libraries

A lot of people keep asking about a good list of .net libraries. Hence, we are building this list to save your time and to spread the knowledge.

For those times when you think, "I know there has to be something that does..."

Some of these haven't been updates or had any source control changes in years. NPlot for example hasn't been updated for 7 years.

Maybe it works as expected and is therefore just finished?

Yes, you just have to make a judgement as to whether a library is worth using or not. I usually go by recent updates in the first instance. If no recent updates is there a forum that shows current regular active usage of the library? Also of relevance is whether it's primarily a single developer who maintains it. What happens if they drop dead?

:laugh: Lol, I like stuff that "just works." Quite often that's not the case. If I have to spend more than a certain amount of time faffing about I give up and try something else.
