Can anyone recommend a free grid/graphing component for C#/.NET? I'm having a look at NPlot right now, but so far I'm finding it quite troublesome.
EDIT: I particularly need something that plugs into Windows Forms - I'm not doing ASP.NET, and don't really fancy reproducing my graph using Google's API every time I get a new data point (several times a second).
Thanks :-)
MS just released one if you are using 3.5 or you could use ZedGraph
EDIT: The Link is Just a ASP.NET demo they have a Windows Forms Release as well with DEMOS
Microsofts Chart Control
MS Chart Controls (VS tools) work with winforms too:
Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft
.NET Framework 3.5 will install new
assemblies that contain the ASP.NET
and Windows Forms Chart Controls.
I haven't had time to use it yet, so I don't know whether it supports charting/plotting (rather than data-graphing).
I can highly recommend ZedGraph (http://zedgraph.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page). It was very easy to configure from my experience (and well documented), not to mention that it seems really quite versatile.
Zedgraph seems to be a good tool to plot 2d lines anc histograms. Is there a c# library which allow to visualize 2D data (f[x,y]) as the matlab function pcolor or imagesc ?
Take a look at Dynamic Data Display on CodePlex. It's a pretty rich library for WPF with good documentation and good sample code.

I have a SQL express 2012 database. I have written several linq queries to bring back various interesting data just using Linqpad but I need a way to generate easy to see charts and graphs from this data.
I don't have any budget to buy any expensive licenses. Is there anything free that I could use in either a console app or asp.net site to generate nice looking charts and graphs from my linq to sql queries?
Thanks
For asp.net you could use the charts from the AjaxControllToolkit
Examples:
Line Chart
Pie Chart
Bubble Chart
Area Chart
Bar Chart
Its free, easy to use and really looks nice to me.
Used it in many projects allready.
Microsoft released a chart control a while back that's free and works with both windows and ASP.NET. Some info here. It's probably included in the framework, or a standalone download for the older framework is available here.
Anyway, you have to convert your LINQ entities into the objects that the chart control expects, but it's not that hard to do. Some examples here.
In case You are developing a web frontend, you could project your results into json and use http://d3js.org/ .

I want to develop my blog website in ASP.NET. What could be the best way I can write my blog through?
I mean will Tiny MCE work for me, last time when I used it I faced terrible formatting issues. Because my blog will include code, different formatting, pictures etc. Please suggest me how to post blog?
I am using ASP.NET 3.5 and SQL Server 2005.
Why write your own from scratch? Take a look at Orchard CMS. It's an opensource .NET CMS being developed with help from Microsoft http://www.orchardproject.net/
Its fairly new, so there's still some features missing, but its really easy to get setup and since you're a .NET developer you can add your own functionality.
I agree with Jamiegs. Blogging is by and large a solved problem. Why not use an existing package? Most packages will include much more than anything you'd put together in your spare time not to mention that you'll benefit from all of the field testing too.
I settled on hosted Wordpress and just pointed my domain there. Hosted Wordpress is somewhat more limited than self-hosted (you can't install your own themes, etc...) but I've hardly found it restrictive. Their documentation around the various shortcodes for displaying source code or embedding maps is pretty complete.
I have been using Obout's html editor almost a year now without any problems. http://obout.com/editor_new/sample_full.aspx . Ajax Toolkit has free lite version of Obout's editor.

I am starting to learn now WPF programming, and I am looking for open projects with code that I can started with. Any project recommendations will be a good. I have searched here on the site but couldn't find any WPF projects that I can start digging in.
I have seen these links already but they are not so good.
There are many, many projects that use or develop extensions for WPF in codeplex. Check the WPF releases page here, first.
Then take a look at WPF Toolkit and MVVM Light Toolkit.
Finally, this example that shows MVVM in action may not be the best example for WPF (since it's trying to show you MVVM, after all), but it's a place to understand the strength of WPF (binds!).
Pretty good start is famous MSDN article about MVVM by Josh Smith
There is also demo app code available.
I suggest Magellan to begin with WPF development. Magellan is a MVC based framework for WPF and
Magellan's goal is to create a pit of success for WPF applications.
The tutorial is rather good so it should be an easy start and
there are good WPF projects in Codeplex
check it out & find the best for you

C# simple open source desktop application to learn from?
I'm trying to learn C#, but most of the times I found tutorials for non programmers which are pretty boring, or comparission with other lenguages.
I tried to compile an application that look nice enough as to call my attention and simple enough ( at first glance ) as to be understood by me, but it turns out it was developed in Mono.
I've downloaded VS for C# express edition in the past, but didn't knew what to do next with it.
So my question is:
Does anyone knows about a simple open source Windows Application developed in C# I can learn from?
It doesn't have to be too simple, but most of the ones I've looked so far are pretty complex, since they are production ready.
Thanks
If you dont mind wpf, try BabySmash
These aren't desktop applications but they are good open source web applications done mostly in C# that you could learn from.
http://www.asp.net/community/projects/
Have you tried looking at SourceForge or Code Project?
check out http://www.codeplex.com
There are a lot of sample apps for both winforms and WPF over at windowsclient.net. I'm not sure I would call any of them a reference application, but there sure are a lot of them. :)
I've had tremendous luck with Microsoft's SharePoint, and extending it was a lot of fun and very educational WRT c# and learning to use it. Check out pilothouseconsulting's development dvd for a lot of good initial information on setting up a debugger and such.
A very simple command line grep tool I put on google code. You may find that interesting.

I am looking for some (preferably) online tutorials on making controls with 'Rich design-time support'
By Rich design time support i mean like how the menustrip works on a form and such.
Any links to websites, good books or code samples (c# or vb.net) would be great.
You can start with Dissecting A C# Application which goes into many aspects of creating SharpDevelop, C# IDE written in .NET. This covers many aspects of the designer architecture and it is free in a PDF. However, the PDF is hard to find (original links no longer work, but I believe this is a valid copy).
While that will get you started on the ins and outs of the designer, it probably doesn't go into detail on some of the more interesting features such as actions and tasks. For this, MSDN has some extensive information and examples (it didn't used to).
Finally, I find the best resource to be .NET Reflector. Using this tool to look at how Microsoft has done it in various places within the framework has been a great learning exercise when working in design-time support areas. Find a control that does what you want and then go see how it does it.
All of these resources are free, however your time is not. I have found that design-time support can be a breeze in some areas but a complete nightmare in others. Good luck.
