MapWinGIS.ocx is a free and open source C++ based geographic information system programming ActiveX Control and application programmer interface (API) that can be added to a Windows Form in Visual Basic, C#, Delphi, or other languages that support ActiveX (like MS-Office), providing your application with a map. In 2016 we've moved the source code from CodePlex to GitHub.
MapWindow5 is based on the history of MapWindow 4, but is a completely new code base written entirely in the C# programming language. MapWindow5 still uses MapWinGIS as its mapping engine, making it very fast. MapWindow5 has support for geo-database (PostGIS, MS-SQL Spatial, SpatiaLite), WMS, multi-threading tools and much more. In 2016 we've moved the source code from CodePlex to GitHub.
HydroDesktop is a free and open source GIS enabled desktop application that helps you search for, download, visualize, and analyze hydrologic and climate data registered with the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System.
DotSpatial is a geographic information system library written for .NET 4. It allows developers to incorporate spatial data, analysis and mapping functionality into their applications or to contribute GIS extensions to the community.
