TinySharpZip – small library which has ability to create and extract ZIP archives

http://code.google.com/p/tinysharpzip/

.NET framework still lacks ZIP archive support so I created this library to allow .NET developers who needed simple ZIP archive manipulation functionality and not want to redistribute third party code as additional dll.

The library is written purely in .NET/C# and uses System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream to compress and decompress data compressed with “deflate” algorithm.

Please note: the library is very simple and does not support all features described in ZIP format specification from PKWARE(encryption, many compression methods, extra fields, etc).

TinySharpZip supports only ‘store’ and ‘deflate’ compression methods and can:

* create ZIP archives and extract only these archives programmatically
* extract archives from ‘trusted’ sources when you sure that ZIP archive format is supported

Again, the library is not intended to provide ZIP archive management functionality for end users and should not be used for products allowing to extract any ZIP archives. More sophisticated libraries (SharpZipLib, DotNetZip) or commercial libraries can be used for these cases.

There is no documentation for the library, it has very simple interface and I hope you will understand how to work with it from sample application and source code.

BackLINQ-LINQ to Objects framework 2

http://code.google.com/p/backlinq/

BackLINQ allows applications written in C# 3.0, but which need to target .NET Framework 2.0 and/or 3.x, to reap the benefits and expressivity of LINQ to Objects and lambda expressions.
The Short of BackLINQ

Once you've gotten used to expressing queries on objects using LINQ, it's hard to go back and write them in an imperative and verbose style. Some folks may still need to target .NET Framework 2.0 and with the multi-targeting capability of Visual Studio 2008, it is possible to continue to use C# 3.0 without requiring users to install .NET Framework 3.5 (which is required to use LINQ to Objects). This is where BackLINQ comes in.

Saturn disk image – read write ISO and dotNET component

http://saturndiskimage.sourceforge.net/

The toolkit also integrates with the well-known NAnt build system, enabling software engineers to create disk images as part of their regular build scripts.

TNValidate – .NET Fluent Validation Library

http://tnvalidate.codeplex.com/

TNValidate is a fluent validation library for .Net. It enables you to write validation
logic in a way that somewhat resembles natural language. This is not only intended to
make it a little easier for developers to scan, but also means non-programmers have a
better chance of being able to understand and modify the constraints being placed on
data.

TNValidate collects together validation failures and has a default set of error messages,
which you can present to end users. Currently we support English and Swedish language;
if you want something else, see the section on adding languages. However, often you will
want to customize the error that is given to the end user for a specific failure, which
is made quick and easy too.

Finally, TNValidate is open source, made available under the MIT license. This enables
you to use it in your free or non-free software, and does not obligate you to contribute
back any changes. However, if you are in an environment where you are allowed to do so,
contributions are welcome (especially in the area of adding support for more languages).

Pex-Automated White Box Testing for .NET

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/cc950525.aspx

Pex (Program EXploration) produces a traditional unit test suite with high code coverage. A parameterized unit test is simply a method that takes parameters, calls the code under test, and states assertions. Given a parameterized unit test written in a .NET language, Pex automatically produces a small unit test suite with high code and assertion coverage. To do so, Pex performs a systematic white box program analysis.Pex learns the program behavior by monitoring execution traces, and uses a constraint solver to produce new test cases with different behavior. At Microsoft, this technique has proven highly effective in testing even an extremely well-tested component.
Play with Pex, stress it, evaluate it, and tell us what you think.

NodeXL is an Excel 2007 flowchart template plus class libraries

http://www.codeplex.com/NodeXL

Formerly know as Microsoft Research released .NetMap

NodeXL is an Excel 2007 template for viewing and analyzing network graphs, along with a set of .NET Framework 3.5 class libraries that can be used to add network graphs to custom applications.

A network graph is a series of vertices (sometimes called nodes) connected by edges. See this Wikipedia article for an overview of network graphs.

Here is a sample network graph created by NodeXL. It shows an individual's network of friends within Facebook.com:

In addition to the Excel 2007 template, the source code includes a standalone desktop application for viewing network graphs. The application reads graph data from either a Pajek file or a simple edge-list text file. The degree of graph customization is much more limited in the desktop application than with the Excel 2007 template.

he Excel 2007 template and the desktop application display graphs using a custom Windows Forms control that can also be used in other applications. In fact, the template is just a Visual Studio Tools for Office 3.0 wrapper around a stack of reusable, prebuilt class libraries.

The Windows Forms control is one of several graph "visualizers" that are packaged in a Microsoft. NodeXL.Visualization assembly. There is also a Microsoft. NodeXL.Adapters assembly for reading and writing graph data in various formats, a Microsoft.SocialNetworkLib assembly for analyzing social networks, and a Microsoft. NodeXL.Core assembly that implements the low-level vertex, edge, and graph classes. The framework for a Microsoft. NodeXL.Algorithms assembly is also provided, although most of the graph algorithms are still work items as of December 2008.

The class libraries are documented in a help file created with NDoc. Search for the NodeXLApi.chm file in the class libraries.

Important Note: You may see nothing but empty topics when you attempt to view the NodeXLApi.chm file. To fix this problem, which is due to a security restriction in Internet Explorer 7, right-click the chm file in Windows Explorer and click the "Unblock" button on the General tab.

SourceMonitor-monitor complexity in source code

http://www.campwoodsw.com/

The freeware program SourceMonitor lets you see inside your software source code to find out how much code you have and to identify the relative complexity of your modules. For example, you can use SourceMonitor to identify the code that is most likely to contain defects and thus warrants formal review. SourceMonitor, written in C++, runs through your code at high speed. SourceMonitor provides the following:

    * Collects metrics in a fast, single pass through source files.
    * Measures metrics for source code written in C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic (VB6) or HTML.
    * Saves metrics in checkpoints for comparison during software development projects.
    * Displays and prints metrics in tables and charts.
    * Operates within a standard Windows GUI or inside your scripts using XML command files.
    * Exports metrics to XML or CSV files for further processing with other tools.

Continuous LINQ- create continuous self-updating result sets

http://www.codeplex.com/clinq

Continuous LINQ is a .NET Framework 3.5 extension that builds on the LINQ query syntax to create continuous, self-updating result sets.
In traditional LINQ queries, you write your query and get stale results. With Continuous LINQ,

you write a query and the results of that query are continuously updated as changes are made to the source collection or items within the source collection.

CLINQ has tremendous value in GUI development and is especially useful in binding to filtered streams of data such as financial or other network message data.
