Free ASP.NET Server Controls

I found a useful web site from a discussion on the forum tonight:

TimothyHumphrey.WebControls

Tim wrote a few of interesting and useful ASP.NET Server control:

  • AntiSpamLink - I remember someone wrote a similar server control in the past.. but I forgot the link... (are you, Dave?) anyway, this topic had been discussed some times ago
  • ContextMenu - similar to this one [via Darren]
  • Frame - nothing new but just an <fieldset> element
  • MainMenu - I can't tell the difference from the one used in DotNetNuke at my first glance
    [via     SolPart]
  • ...
  • ...

You may have a doubt in your mind up to this moment... Ya, Tim provide these controls for free and the download come with Installer, Source, Documentation...etc :-D

These controls are licensed under the GNU GPL, fyi. I'm not saying that's good or bad (I've made that mistake before); I'm just passing along the info.

Hi Jon, the missing image was fixed! Thanks.

BTW, What kind of problem that you face for the GNU GPL licensing?

Jon Galloway, I have no idea if the fact that "These controls are licensed under the GNU GPL" is a good thing or a bad thing. And...THAT a BAD thing!!

Can you please tell me something I should know about this fact that can help me decide if I should use them?

Thanks!

Any one have any experience setting up these controls and using them?

How are they?
Thanks!

I have a problem w/ them....Index out of range error. i did NOT install the "package" on my PC. I wanted to try just using the DLL in the BIN. Weird error.

Happened to find this while googling on my name.

I wrote a FAQ item on the GNU GPL, http://timothy.humphrey.name/thwc/faq.aspx#g_commercial , which may answer your questions on it.

I'm kind of baffled about the index out of range error. The MainMenu control requires a lot of support files that have to be installed as well as the compiled DLL. These can be placed wherever you like on the web server but they do need to be there. Also, it uses the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib component to compress the ViewState as well as data it puts in the cache so this has to be installed in the bin directory as well. If you have any problems using it drop me a line: thwc at timothy dot humphrey dot name.
