I'm looking for a thumbnail library for .NET. I don't care if free or paid. I would like to generate thumbnails for file preview, supporting as many file types as possible:
images, videos, pfd, office docs, ...
Could someone recommend any?
Thanks in advance
From my experience I don't think there's a one stop shop for what you want. Instead you'll need to use a series of libraries to achieve the result:
PDF: Previously I've used PDF Sharp which is pretty good for free.
Video: From this SO question there's http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/avifilewrapper.aspx
Alternatively you could try a more general approach (Although I've not used this myself)

I hear, there is fine-reader lib's for c#, so that i can read text on my image, but i did't find this in web, are there any tutorials? code? Also what also can i use to read in my windows-form app text on my image?
Simple: in code i load image, and then send it to method, which read this text on my image... But image is noisy.
There is a good OCR library called tesseract, but it's C++ native library, which you can use through the console mode. I could not find better alternatives.

I am working on image processing library in c#.
want to improve performance/speed and better memory management.
I am using Bitmap class and its just array manipulations.
Can someone suggest me, how to improve it. any guidelines?
The first thing to do is to find out where your problem lies. I would suggest using the built-in Visual Studio profiler to figure out where your execution performance bottlenecks are.
There's an MSDN article here that explains how to use the profiler.

Can anyone suggest some beautiful Gauge Controls that can works under VC/.Net environment, it is best to contain lot of styles, e.g. compass, aircraft instrument etc. Thanks in advance.
I am fully aware that this project doesn't fit your bill as it's Java-Swing based, but these gauges are so beautiful and well-assorted, they can serve as an inspiration should you fail to use ready-to-use components.
The same author also made a HTML5 Canvas based version (impressive demo here) of these components.
Updated link to the demo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/84552/SteelSeries/SteelSeries.html
Maybe this helps.

BITS, the Windows background intelligent transfer service.
Looks like there are a few C# wrappers around that manage the interop to BITS, does anybody have any opinions on the best one?
I found problems with using the Managed_BITS codeproject article and I found an even better wrapper:
http://www.codeplex.com/sharpbits
http://nuget.org/packages/SharpBITS
Less code, a lot cleaner and unlike the codeproject, it did not hide away those parts of the BITS interface that I actually need to use.
Check out the following:
