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 -

Basic Computer Games
An updated version of the classic "Basic Computer Games" book
Basic Computer Games is a modern revitalization of the classic “Basic Computer Games” book’s collection of games, ported and expanded into various modern, memory-safe and scripting languages. It includes illustrative code examples of many classic games (e.g. Blackjack, Bowling) in multiple languages, with the goal of making the historical games accessible and educational in safe modern environments. Definitely use the most recent versions and features of the target language, but also try to keep the code samples simple and explainable – the goal is to teach programming in the target language, not necessarily demonstrate the cleverest one-line tricks, or big system "enterprise" coding techniques designed for thousands of lines of code. -

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. -

DSharpPlus
A .NET Standard library for making bots using the Discord API
All Nightly versions are available on Nuget as a pre-release. These are cutting-edge versions automatically built from the latest commit in the master branch in this repository, and as such always contains the latest changes. If you want to use the latest features on Discord, you should use the nightlies Despite the nature of pre-release software, all changes to the library are held under a level of scrutiny; for this library, unstable does not mean bad quality, rather it means that the API can be subject to change without prior notice (to ease rapid iteration) and that consumers of the library should always remain on the latest version available (to immediately get the latest fixes and improvements). You will usually want to use this version. The latest stable release is always available on NuGet. Stable versions are released less often, but are guaranteed to not receive any breaking API changes without a major version bump. -

CodeQL
Libraries and queries that power security researchers
CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine that treats programs as queryable databases, enabling users to write expressive queries that identify security vulnerabilities, logic bugs, and code quality issues across large codebases. Instead of just pattern matching text, CodeQL ingests source code, builds rich representations of structure and data flow, and allows queries that reason about control flow, type systems, and interprocedural relationships. This makes it powerful not just for basic linting but for deep detection of complex security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and taint propagation that traditional static analyzers can miss. CodeQL is used by security teams, developers, and open-source tooling to create reusable query libraries, enforce policy across repositories, and automate findings in CI/CD pipelines. -

DockPanel Suite
The Visual Studio inspired docking library for .NET WinForms
Microsoft first introduced the docking panel layout in Visual Studio .NET (2002), and soon it became popular in application design. Many commercial .NET component vendors started to provide docking libraries initially, but there was no good free and open source alternative until WeiFen Luo released DockPanel Suite (DPS for short) on SourceForge.net in 2006. After an 18 month hiatus, the project has been resurrected and is now being actively developed on GitHub.
