- Spices.Net Suite: All about .Net Visual Studio Can't Do — Spices.Net Suite is a collection of utilities, which brings all the strength the .Net platform *potentially* has right in a developer’s hands. Unfortunately, the functionality of the tools created by Microsoft for their own platform is always much poorer than what it could be, and Spices.Net is addressed to fix this drawback. Once installed, Spaces.Net Suite will provide you with pretty and usable environment, completely…
- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls... Unfortunately, those times have gone. Now, there is .NET, there is VC++ MFC, there are other IDE with form designers, like Delphi. There is no place for good old VB6. Old projects are to be translated to new environments, but it is not an easy…
- KDT Soft. Recover Product Key 1.1.2, Gimme The Key! — The «product key» concept has become usual for most of us. Typically, when you take a copy of some software, you don’t own it, you just use it. What you own is a «product key» — just several letters and numbers of the «personal key» generated for you by the vendor. It’s an industry standard, and it’s almost fine, except of several questionable situations. What…
- 10 Applications MyDB 2.0, Data is Always With Me — Writable CD and DVD disks just couldn’t have become our main media. Several years later, a USB stick could. Now, willing always to be able to work with your data, you shouldn’t have these heavy and expensive notebooks or not-so-handy handhelds. You are just carrying around your data on a small memory stick and any computer on the way can suit you as a workplace. But in fact, it is not that easy…
- Registry Trash Keys Finder — There always comes a day when you feel that urgent need to bring your operating system to order — uninstall the unnecessary applications, defragment drives, purge temporary files, clean up the desktop, sort files by folders and, we suggest, also wipe out the «trash» entries clogging up your system’s registry. Not only do these actions improve your system’s performance, but they help insure a smoothly-running…
- AlphaControls - adding fashion to your applications has never been easier — As a developer, you should be primarily concerned with the functionality of your application and its stability in different conditions. As a smart developer, you should also be concerned with the appearance of your products. This important factor often becomes the final incentive that makes people choose a specific product among dozens of identical ones. Therefore, creating applications with style and beauty in mind is a great…
- Alvas. Audio 6.5 – make your applications sound differently! — If you are a developer working with C# or VB.NET languages to create an application that is actively using sound capturing, processing and playback functions, you are most probably facing a serious dilemma. Since these are large and complex tasks, you may want to create your own classes and libraries to have full control over all sound-related processes. However, if your time is limited and deadlines are looming, you may want…
- Duplicate File Finder .NET - a jolt of fresh air for a clogged hard drive — Since the majority of today’s hard drives are measured in hundreds of gigabytes or even in terabytes, we rarely pay attention to how we keep our data organized, if at all. A visit of a friend with a portable hard drive full of movies, photos and music or a LAN party leaves chaos on your data storage and you may be quite surprised to find several copies of the same folders and files…
- OpenPGP Library for .NET - let secrets created in your applications stay secret — If you are developing a .NET application that incorporates complex security features, you will inevitably face a hard choice: creation of your own security routines or using available third-party components. The majority of developers will opt for the latter, as implementation of reliable encryption mechanisms may take months and there is no guarantee that the problem will be solved. Therefore, if you are looking to add strong…
