.NET Components

These are components I've developed for .NET. They are all written in C#, and full source code is provided. They are not licensed for reuse or redistribution. The source code is simply provided for educational purposes.

Menees.Common

Menees.Common - Core utility classes for file handling, text processing, logging, data conversion, read-only collections, XML, command-line parsing, and exception handling. These types are GUI-agnostic, and the code is compliant with most FxCop and StyleCop rules.

Menees.Windows.Forms

Menees.Windows.Forms - Windows Forms-related classes for text searching, user setting storage, folder browsing, simple input, read-only output, wait cursor management, tabbed MDI handling, and "about box" display. This also includes extended versions of .NET's ListView, PropertyGrid, RichTextBox, and ToolStrip classes as well as updates to the FormSaver and RecentItemList classes from the old Menees library.  The code is compliant with most FxCop and StyleCop rules.

Menees (Old)

Menees - A few classes, components, and controls that I found myself needing in .NET. You may need them to build other software on my site. Some of what's contained in Menees:

• FormSaver - A design-time component for saving and loading a form's state.
• RecentItemList - Manages a list of recent file names including menu maintenance.  It uses FormSaver to persist its settings.
• CommandLine - A general purpose command line parser that uses Action<T> handlers to support flag switches (e.g., /b+), associated value switches (e.g., /f:Contents.txt), and non-switched values (e.g., XCopy source [destination]).
• NumericTextBox - A TextBox-derived class that can be used for integer or floating-point numeric entry.
• TextEditor - A TextBox-derived class that saves and opens files, manages recent files (with RecentFiles), and exposes several useful properties and events (e.g. CaretPoint and CaretMoved).
• RichTextBoxEx - Adds some TextEditor-like features (e.g., CaretPoint and GetCurrentLineText) as well as a method to get an ITextDocument interface for doing advanced text manipulation (e.g., appending text without scrolling).
