Windows Ribbon for WinForms v2.3

Windows Ribbon for WinForms is an open-source .NET wrapper for the Windows Ribbon Framework, a free ribbon control that Microsoft provides in Windows 7 and Vista.  It allows WinForms developers to use the Ribbon control — as found in Microsoft Office applications — in their WinForms applications.

The project includes the RibbonLib library and sample WinForms applications, written both in C# and VB.NET, that demonstrate the use of the library and the Ribbon features.

ClientUI 3 For Silverlight and WPF

ClientUI™ is a next-generation user interface library by Intersoft Solutions for the Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) client platforms.  ClientUI provides a full set of application fundamental libraries and an integrated architecture.

A ClientUI-family component shares the same ClientUI Framework and a set of common APIs, which enables developers to reuse the same code in both client platforms. Every ClientUI component works and behaves consistently on both platforms.

YUI 3 — Yahoo! User Interface Library

YUI 3 is Yahoo!’s next-generation JavaScript and CSS library.  YUI 3 powers the new Yahoo! homepage and incorporates what we’ve learned in five years of dedicated library development.  Today, the YUI 3 Core and a full utility set are ready for use.  All YUI projects are BSD-licensed and are available for forking and contribution on GitHub.

YUI 3 is the first major redesign of YUI since 2005 and includes the following modernizations:

1. Selector-driven: YUI 3 is built around one of the lightest, fastest selector engines available, bringing the expressive power of the CSS selector specification into actions that target DOM nodes.
2. Syntactically terse: Without polluting the global namespace, YUI 3 supports a more terse coding style in which more can be accomplished with less code.
3. Self-completing: YUI 3’s light (6.2KB gzipped) seed file can serve as the starting point for any implementation. As long as this seed file is present on the page, you can load any module in the library on the fly. And all modules brought into the page via the built-in loader are done so via combo-handled, non-blocking HTTP requests. This makes loading the library safe, easy and fast.
4. Sandboxed: YUI modules are bound to YUI instances when you use() them; this protects you against changes that might happen later in the page’s lifecycle. (In other words, if someone blows away a module you’re using after you’ve created your YUI instance, your code won’t be affected.)

Yahoo! UI Library: YUI Compressor for .Net

This is a .NET port of the Yahoo! UI Library’s YUI Compressor Java project.  The objective of this project is to compress any Javascript and Cascading Style Sheets to an efficient level that works exactly as the original source, before it was minified.

Main features include:

• Stock Yui JavaScript and Yui Css compression
• MsBuild task which can be used in a Web Deployment Project build
• The MsBuild task also compiles all compressed files into a single destination file (aka. file combining)
• Can now handle Encoding Types (e.g. Unicode) and ThreadCulture
