Encryption / .NET Components and .NET Controls / Visual C++ 2008 (Tools & Libraries)

What is a .NET component? .NET components are pre-built pieces of software that you can re-use within the Microsoft .NET Framework (pronounced dot net framework) to help you create your application faster and hopefully with fewer bugs. By re-using .NET software components you not only save time and money, but you also get the opportunity to use other people's expertise and knowledge that will give your app extra functionality and features - fast. In this filtered view of our product catalog you will only find .NET compatible products, these products include both .NET Components and .NET Controls as .NET downloads for you to try and buy.

What is a .NET Control? A .NET Control has a visual aspect and can be used on a form or Web page to control the behavior of the user interface, so the user of the app can use a .NET UI Control to: enter data, click on a button, select from items displayed on a drop down list, draw a chart or graph based on data that they have entered into a .NET datagrid control etc.

What is the difference between a .NET Component and a .NET Control?

A .NET Component does not always have to have a visual interface, for example a .NET Component could work behind the scenes on a server and be used to calculate the tax due on an invoice for goods sold to a customer or to create a PDF version of that invoice and then email it to the customer's email address. .NET Controls are User Interface (UI) controls and they are a subset of .NET Components and as such all .NET Controls are therefore .NET Components, however, the reverse is not true, a .NET Component is not also a .NET Control, as a .NET Component does not have to have a visual or visible interface and it does not have to appear on a Windows form, Web Form or Web page as part of the UI.

In this .NET Components marketplace you will find both .NET Controls and .NET Components - available as commercial grade, quality .NET software component products.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (MS Visual C++ 2008) allows Visual C++ 2008 programmers to rapidly create Windows applications for their end users. Visual C++ 2008 developers can extend the standard functionality available inside the Visual C++ 2008 IDE with a variety of Visual C++ 2008 add-ins and Visual C++ 2008 tools. The extensibility of Visual C++ 2008 is one of the main reasons it has proved to be popular with developers, as Visual C++ 2008 software engineers can find Visual C++ 2008 downloads from other companies or other VC++ developers to act as a Visual C++ 2008 extension to their Visual C++ 2008 IDE or Visual C++ 2008 app.

The versatility of Visual C++ 2008 also extends to various forms of Visual C++ 2008 software components. Visual C++ 2008 controls can be used to create feature rich Visual C++ 2008 user interfaces on forms and Web pages inside Visual C++ 2008 apps. These Visual C++ 2008 UI controls are augmented by non-visual Visual C++ 2008 components or Visual C++ 2008 libraries or Visual C++ 2008 Class libraries that can help a developer add many hidden features in Visual C++ 2008 applications running in the background. These non-visual components are most commonly available as a Visual C++ 2008 library or Visual C++ 2008 Class library.

An example of a visible Visual C++ 2008 control is BCGControlBar Professional, a Visual C++ 2008 Class Library that allows you to create an MS Office Ribbon style or look and feel to your latest Visual C++ 2008 project UI. A non-visible Visual C++ 2008 Class Library component example is a Visual C++ 2008 compatible product call IP*Works! C++ Edition that allows you to send emails via SMTP and POP or to transfer files reliably using HTTP or FTP Internet protocols from within your Visual C++ 2008 program.
