.NET Tool/Control vendors/creators: new directory site: www.developerfood.com!

A good friend of mine, Scott Wallace, has created a new .NET tool/control directory site: http://www.developerfood.com! If you are a tool / control vendor or a freeware/open source tool/control programmer, feel free to add your tool/control to the directory. The site is free, doesn't sell the controls / tools it lists nor is it affiliated with a tool/control vendor.

I think it is a great initiative and it takes just a few minutes to get your tool/control enlisted. One for the bookmarks!

A good complement for http://SharpToolbox.com">http://SharpToolbox.com as SharpToolbox doesn't list controls (except for charting).
By the way, the http://SharpToolbox.com">http://SharpToolbox.com directory is getting close to 500 tools, libraries and add-ins! :-)

Nice site, hope there will be listed some nice and free tools.

And good luck with reviewing! :)

It you want a control, check out the gallery at asp.net. Check out also the workspaces at gotdotnet.

I am interested in any site that lists free or cheap (as in under $50) asp.net goodies.

I went to developerfood.com and found very few listings. This is a common problem with new directory sites. You need to work on it and fill it up before telling the public about it.

I go to such site and what happens? I don't find interesting and beneficial. I tell myself the site will take time to be usable and eventually I forgoet about the site.

It needs to be an attention grabber from the very beginning... ie; worth bookmarking.
