60 Free WinForm and WebForm Controls from DevExpress – Reg-ware, yet usable in commercial, biz, etc, applications

DevExpress - Over 60 Free Controls from DevExpress

“Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. DevExpress is happy to offer you over 60 DevExpress controls free of charge – without royalties or distribution costs.

Your free license includes the following DevExpress products:

…

Once you register, you will be forwarded an Email with your login credentials to our product download portal. With this information in hand, you will be able to download and install all the controls and tools listed above free of charge. The applications you create with these controls can be distributed royalty free (see the EULA that accompanies the products for more information). Note that the installation you download will include evaluation versions of our entire product line. You can install these trials if you wish during the setup process.

Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 are fully supported.”

Free is a hard deal to beat. The XtraEditors Library alone normally sells for $149… So what’s the hook? It’s that you download their entire WebForm and WinForm suite (aka the “DXperience”), and only some of it is free/non-trial-ware (which is made clear in the above text). Meaning I’m now downloading a 171MB file…

Registration is quick, easy and fast (and even easier if you already have a DevExpress account, such as when you registered your Refactor! VB Free download)

I don’t know how long this offer will last, so get it while you can…
