QuickOpen Plugin for notepad++
plugin for notepad++
This plugin mimics the "open selected file" in PSPad. I am a PHP developer and i often see an 'require_once("../this/is/some/file.php");'. In pspad you can select the whole path (../this/is/some/file.php) and open it from the menu. Now you can do the same in notepad++. Just select the whole path and press alt+o, or use the button in the toolbar on top. It will open the file automatically. The plugin understands the relative path. The code is also available on https://bitbucket.org/sgezel/quickopenplugin -

QRCoder
A pure C# Open Source QR Code implementation
QRCoder is a simple library, written in C#.NET, which enables you to create QR codes. It hasn't any dependencies on other libraries and is available as .NET Framework and .NET Core PCL version on NuGet. Feel free to grab-up/fork the project and make it better! QRCoder is a .NET library, completely written in C#, which enables you to generate QR Codes as defined by ISO/IEC 18004. The main target of the QRCoder library is to deliver a small and easy-to-use solution, which has no dependencies to other libraries or network stacks. (Like QR Code generators which are relying on online services which makes them vulnerable/slow in some cases.) Although simplicity is one of the main goals, QRCoder is really flexible, in both "output formats" as well as in "payload types". Payload types? Yes, QRCoder brings its own "payload generator", which helps you to create a big list of different payload types to generate special QR codes like "WiFi QR Codes", "Girocodes", "SwissQRCodes" and many more. -

CppSharp
Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
CppSharp is a tool and set of libraries that facilitates the usage of native C/C++ code with the .NET ecosystem. It consumes C/C++ header and library files and generates the necessary glue code to surface the native API as a managed API. Such an API can be used to consume an existing native library in your managed code or add managed scripting support to a native codebase. The supported target languages at present are C# and C++/CLI. It can also be used as a library to parse native code into a syntax tree with a rich declaration and type information model. Generates the glue binding code from a syntax tree of the native code. Provides APIs for parsing of C/C++ source code into a syntax tree. Mirrors the Clang's C/C++ AST and type system classes in C# APIs. -

AWS Lambda for .NET
Libraries, samples and tools to help .NET Core developers
AWS Lambda for .NET is the repository that houses tools, libraries and templates to build and deploy AWS Lambda functions using the .NET ecosystem (including .NET Core and .NET 7+). It provides NuGet packages for event models (e.g., API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3), utilities such as Amazon.Lambda.Tools for CLI deployment, and Blueprints/templates to scaffold serverless .NET projects quickly. The framework supports writing functions in C# (and VB/F# where applicable), integrates with the .NET CLI and Visual Studio tooling, and allows developers to treat Lambda functions like any other managed .NET application while handling the deployment, packaging and runtime glue. Its goal is to make serverless in AWS feel natural for .NET developers—abstracting away boilerplate and letting you focus on business logic rather than deployment artifacts. It also supports advanced use cases such as .NET Core integration, source-generator annotations, and custom middleware within a function context. -

ClashN
A clash client for Windows, support Mihomo
clashN is a Windows desktop client for the Clash networking engine, providing a graphical interface to manage proxies, rules, and profiles. It wraps the Clash core in a familiar, configurable UI so users can import subscriptions, switch nodes, and observe connections without editing YAML by hand. The app emphasizes rule-based routing, letting you combine rule providers and policy groups to steer traffic by domain, process, or destination category. System-wide proxy control, including PAC and TUN/TAP options, helps route applications that don’t natively support proxies. Logs, traffic charts, and connection inspectors make troubleshooting and optimization straightforward. For power users, granular profile editing and hot-reloading reduce the friction of iterating on configurations. -

HSharp
HSharp is a library used to analyze markup language like HTML
HSharp appears to be an experimental C#/.NET project exploring higher-level abstractions or helper patterns (the naming hints at “H#” as a layer or framework on top of C#). It groups together utilities, base classes, and conventions so that common app logic can be written faster and with less boilerplate. The repo acts as a sandbox for testing these patterns in real code, which is helpful if you want to see how the author structures services, models, or infrastructure concerns. Because it’s source-first, you can cherry-pick the parts you want into your own .NET apps and ignore the rest. The idea is to make everyday C# tasks (initialization, configuration, helpers) feel more concise and expressive. Over time it can grow into a personal toolkit for the author and anyone who likes the same idioms. -

MQTTnet
High performance .NET library for MQTT based communication
MQTTnet is a high-performance .NET library for MQTT-based communication. It provides an MQTT client and an MQTT server (broker) and supports the MQTT protocol up to version 5. TLS support for client and server (but not UWP servers). Extensible communication channels (e.g. In-Memory, TCP, TCP+TLS, WS). Lightweight (only the low-level implementation of MQTT, no overhead). Performance optimized (processing ~150.000 messages/second). Uniform API across all supported versions of the MQTT protocol. Tested on the local machine (Intel i7 8700K) with MQTTnet client and server running in the same process using the TCP channel. The app for verification is part of this repository and stored in /Tests/MQTTnet.TestApp.NetCore. List of connected clients available. Supports connected clients with different protocol versions at the same time. Able to publish its own messages (no loopback client required). Able to receive every message (no loopback client required). -
