    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.

    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

    Elsa Workflows

    Elsa Workflows

    A .NET Standard 2.0 Workflows Library

    Build workflows in code using the Workflow Builder API or as data using JSON syntax. Or use the workflow designer to design executable workflows visually. Elsa comes with a reusable dashboard component to manage workflows and activities. Run workflows from within your application using simple to use APIs. Start or resume workflows manually, or automatically by invoking triggers. Make it your own by extending the set of activities with your own. Implementing custom activities allows for powerful workflows that can be implemented with ease. Workflows can be defined using plain C# code. In addition to an increasing number of activities that you can choose from, Elsa is designed to be extensible with your own custom activities. Short-running Workflows can be useful to implement a business rules engine, while long-running workflows greatly simplify the implementation of complex processes that involve coordinating between multiple agents (users & machines).

    AWS Lambda for .NET

    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.

    AngleSharp

    AngleSharp

    The ultimate angle brackets parser library parsing HTML5, MathML, SVG

    AngleSharp follows the W3C specifications and gives you the same results as state of the art browsers. Besides the official API AngleSharp adds some useful extension methods on top. This makes working with the DOM convenient. AngleSharp integrates everything you need to explore and mutate the DOM tree. Node retrieval is straight forward by using powerful CSS query selectors. The CSS queries in AngleSharp are super fast and very simple to use. AngleSharp respects the relationship of HTML with CSS. Therefore CSS is a first class citizen in the AngleSharp eco-system. Nevertheless, it is your choice if you want to use CSS with HTML, CSS alone or if you provide your own CSS solution. AngleSharp offers a lot of extension points. One of the best possibilities is providing scripting engines. This gives you a very elegant way of using JavaScript with C# on webpages. You can even script in other languages if you want to.
