Alchemi Alchemi is an open source software framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of networked machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop applications to run on the grid. ZedGraph ZedGraph is a set of classes, written in C#, for creating 2D line and bar graphs of arbitrary datasets. The classes provide a high degree of flexibility and are simple to use. NPlot NPlot is a free charting library for .NET. It boasts an elegant and flexible API. NPlot includes controls for Windows.Forms, ASP.NET and a class for creating bitmaps. NLog NLog is a .NET logging library designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. NUnit NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .NET languages. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many of the latest .NET language features. dnAnalytics An open-source numerical library for the .NET framework. Also provides C# wrappers for BLAS and LAPACK. Math.NET Math.NET is a mathematical open source library written in C#. Math.NET aims to provide a self contained clean framework for symbolic mathematical (CAS, Computer Algebra System), and also for numerical / scientific computations. VTK .NET VTK.NET is a .NET wrapper for the Visualization Toolkit. With it, you can write Windows Forms applications in C#, managed C++, Visual Basic, or J#. It includes a Windows Forms Control for drag and drop design of forms. It is hosted on sourceforge. Utilities These are both standalone and Visual Studio 2005 plugins that I have grown to depend on. NDoc NDoc generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler, and can produce several different formats including MSDN-style HTML Help format (.chm), the Visual Studio .NET Help format (HTML Help 2), and MSDN-online style web pages. Note: The latest version of NDoc does not support .NET 2.0 (e.g. generics, etc) but there is an..... http://esl.eng.ohio-state.edu/~valerio//index.php?show=60-Links text/html Tue, 24 Oct 2006 09:20:02 -0400 Welcome!
