So basically I want to create charts with server-side blazor, I was searching around for some packages which would allow me to create charts. The problem being that they are all pretty expensive:
telerik
syncfusion
The only free alternative which is also pretty good I found was ofc. ChartJs, but it uses obviusly js which is not really the direction I wanted to go for.
So are there any 'good' Blazor chart libraries which are free and let me create the normal hand full of chart types e.g. area-charts, line charts, bar charts ... ?
To answer the question myself, this is the library which looks the most promising and it is also free.
There is also a specific ChartJS.Blazor package available for free, just a small NuGet package. And compatible with client-side and server-side Blazor applications.
ChartJS.Blazor package by Marius Muntean
Or search for "ChartJS.Blazor" in NuGet Package manager in Visual Studio
Note: The . is after ChartJS and before Blazor, not after Chart directly. Otherwise you won't find this package but all the other variations.
Plotly.Blazor is now another option.
Plotly.Blazor is a wrapper for plotly.js.
Built on top of d3.js and stack.gl, plotly.js is a high-level, declarative charting library. It ships with over 40 chart types, including 3D charts, statistical graphs, and SVG maps.
plotly.js is free and open source and you can view the source, report issues or contribute on GitHub.
There are beautiful charts available on Blazorise.com. Please check them and give a try:
https://bootstrapdemo.blazorise.com/tests/charts
There is also Blazly even though it doesn't seem to be much activity lately it is quite easy to adapt to specific needs.
You can find the library for bar chart, and lot of other components here:

I'm a .Net C# Developer. I want to develop the media programming about video/audio codec, capture media from source, etc. I'm going to use the DirectShow Lib, but I read it on MSDN, and I'm very confused, because I'm a beginner.
Do you have the best tutorials or some article that can make beginner understand to program in the DirectShow architecture? If so, please share them.
You will find these useful:

Hope that helps.

Dude, IMO It's better develop direct show in C++, you just should learn how to create COM object and uninitialize it, C++ is faster, and current available library of direct show all are in c++, cases which are in code project in c# are good for learning basic of direct show, but they aren't practical solutions. they are COM wrapper to use them in C#, the speed is main concern and their speed in real time video analyzing is not good. the MSDN is best reference for working with directshow and there are good samples in SDK
Just read DirectShow SDK in MSDN from beginning. Then install GraphEditPlus, try building some graphs and then from File menu you can generate C# code which builds these graphs using DirectShowLib for .NET and see how it does it.

I am starting a new project and I need some very pretty controls. The ones that come with VS2010 aren't going to cut it.
This application will be very simple, but I want it to look very appealing.
Any suggestions for 3rd party controls that can help me do that?
Open source or pay.
There are a number of big suppliers:
http://www.telerik.com
http://www.infragistics.com
http://www.devexpress.com
http://www.componentfactory.com - Krypton Suite
All of these have WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET and Silverlight controls so you can choose how you build your application.
You'll find full pricing info on their sites - I won't quote it here as it will become out of date very quickly.
You might even find some specific controls on Code Project.
If you want something completely sexy, I am afraid that you'll have to hit the Graphics yourself.
All the control suites are generalized and for 'all purpose'. To create something really unique, well, no control suite should give you what you need.
These guys sell a really cool GridView I use extensively:
http://www.divelements.co.uk/
The most popular ones are
www.telerik.com
www.infragistics.com and
www.devexpress.com
Have you looked at DevExpress? http://www.devexpress.com/ There stuff works very well, the look and feel is very customizable.

I need to be able to generate dependency diagrams programmatically. I'd like it to be able to generate a bunch of boxes with labels and connectors linking them, and ideally the component would position them automatically onto a design surface which could then be manually rearranged.
I'm using WinForms and C# 2.0 (VS2005).
EDIT: However, since it'll be an internal tool, I can probably use 3.5 SP1 and WPF if there any suggestions in that arena.
Must be free or open source.
Any recommendations?
Too late for the questioner but perhaps interesting for researchers:
NShape
NShape is an Open Source diagram designing framework for .NET
WinForms. Software developers use NShape to integrate diagramming
capabilities into their applications. Using NShape, applications let
users view, annotate, modify and create diagrams like flow charts,
wiring schemes or project charts. NShape is open source and has a dual
license which allows it to be employed for free in open source
projects and for a license fee in commercial projects.
Did you try the CodeProject article series by Sukram:
WPF Diagram Designer
Here is some references which might be interesting for you:
Diagram.NET
Diagram.NET is a free open-source
diagramming tools written entirely in
C#.
Put Diagram.NET WinForm Control into your form and, like Microsoft Visio®, the user can draw shapes and links. With some code you can control, change, add and delete these elements.
Microsoft Chart Controls
The samples environment for Microsoft
Chart Controls for .NET Framework
contains over 200 samples for both
ASP.NET and Windows Forms. The
samples cover every major feature in
Chart Controls for .NET Framework.
They enable you to see the Chart
controls in action as well as use the
code as templates for your own web and
windows applications.
You might want to take a look at GraphViz which is being distributed under CPL (i.e. free of charge). It is not exactly for .NET/WinForms but can be useful anyway. The library's main purpose is to visualize graphs (and dependency diagram is effectively a [directional] graph). You can use it to either get an image (graph layout) or an array of points (coordinates for you items).
OpenDiagram
Open Diagram is the definitive open source .net diagramming
component library for the .Net framework winforms environment.
Use Open Diagram to add interactive data visualizations to your .net
applications.
I have tried it with WinForms, works very well.
I have similar request as yours. Here's one open source solution for drawing diagrams. It's from Microsoft and samples written in C#.
https://github.com/Microsoft/automatic-graph-layout
Here's one that renders to HTML5 (You can easily extend to Visio) from GridWizard/Github
Source code: https://github.com/gridwizard/SimpleFlowDiagram
Wordpress doc: https://gridwizard.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/simple-c-library-to-render-graph-to-flowchart/
Downside is, you need a viewer to display HTML5. Alternatively, SimpleFlowDiagramLib already calculate Node.x and Node.y - you can render it to Winform/WPF yourself (but then you need to code rendering yourself)
Vote for NShape. More or less it's fine.

For Perl, there is cpan.org, where I can lookup and reuse any previously built package in my own code.
Is there a similar open source code repository for C#?
Edit: Thanks all. I also just found code.google.com.
http://www.codeplex.com/ for starters. That's the most "official" one. But you'll find numerous other resources such as sourceforge.net and CodeProject.com
Google Code also has a C# section
I think your what your looking for is CodePlex.
Wikipedia Entry:
CodePlex is an open source project hosting website from Microsoft. It allows shared development of open source software. Its features include wiki pages, source control based on Team Foundation Server but accessible using Subversion, discussion forums, issue tracking, project tagging, RSS support, statistics, and releases.
While Codeplex encompasses a wide variety of projects, including SQL, WPF and Windows Forms-related projects, major activities center around the .NET framework, including ASP.NET, and Microsoft's intranet collaboration server, SharePoint. The most prominent and used project that was born inside CodePlex, the AJAX Control Toolkit is a joint project between the community and Microsoft.
codeplex - not really 100% match to your need but has got lots of goodies
also codeproject

Last week i searched for good free or opensource solutions and component for GIS (Geographical Information Systems) I founded some system but no one fill my requirements
SharpMap is very buggy software
Gmap.net is very slow
MapWindow have a very complex structure and is very buggy.
I founded uDIG but is in java, i need a solution in vb.net or c#.
Anyone know a good solution that fill my requirements or have alternatives, i accept solutions?
You are limiting yourself a lot by insisting on .NET. I don't know of anything other than SharpMap or MapWinGIS ActiveX (MapWindow). Here are some free, but not .NET, options for Windows desktop applications.
If you'd consider writing your standalone application in Python or C++:
Mapnik
QGIS
Or if you'd consider writing a plug-in or a customisation for an existing GIS:
GRASS can be customised in Python, Perl, Ruby...
QGIS can be customised in Python
I think that you've covered it already. There really aren't any production quality open source GIS project out there using C#. Most of the good work is being done in Java, C/C++ or Python these days. If you must use the .NET Framework then I think the best of the bunch is indeed SharpMap.
Failing that you need to look at commercial products from companies like http://www.esri.com. Of course, it also depends on what you need: web services, Windows Forms control, WPF, etc. In the past I've managed to whip up some C# that constructed the right XML to send to a Java server-based mapping engine, so you could look at something like GeoServer and build your own client. Obviously not what you want to get in to but I don't see that you have many options beyond the ones you've listed.
I would recommend to look in to MapAround
Have you checked out SharpMap? It's available on codeplex.
MapSurfer.NET framework might be a good option.
MapSurfer.NET is free, modern cartographic framework which is able to provide maps of superior cartographic quality. This framework supports a bunch spatial data formats (e.g., Shape files, PostgreSQL, OSM, etc.) and web services (e.g., CartoDB, Mapzen, etc.). Furthermore, its setup includes MapSurfer.NET Studio application which allows creating and editing map styles (analogue of TileMill). Its symbology is inspired by both OGC specifications and other similar toolkits such as MapServer, GeoServer or Mapnik.
We use Mapzania (http://www.mapzania.com).
The best thing about it is that you load it into existing web-applications via a NuGet package and then you get a bunch of GIS functionality.
It uses Leaflet as its front-end and it has JS library that makes it easy to do stuff to Leaflet.
It also has a nice MapStyler for creating and editing maps.
