The .net framework comes with a bunch of really useful libraries, but there's always something better out there.
What 3rd party libraries have you found that you can't live without now?
is it C5?
is it db4o?
is it something off CodePlex?

EDIT: Please post both Free and Non-free libraries- but it would be ...

I have a web application that requires a server based component to periodically access POP3 email boxes and retrieve emails. The service then needs to process the emails which will involve:
Validating the email against some business rules (does it contain a valid reference in the subject line, which user sent the mail, etc.)
Analysing ...
I run into this obstacle when my debugger steps into some classfile
without corresponding source. Finding it is often difficult:
You have to search for the site hosting the respective project,
and find its ``download source'' page (for instance, last time I searched
for the JPA API, and it took me hours to obtain the sources). Or, yo...
As I hate reinventing the wheel, I wonder if there are any commonly used packaged out there for doing hte simple job of communicating (key,value) pairs of data betweeen two network endpoints (probably TCP/IP is the most likely carrier). I would like something that works in any environment, which for me means Unix/Linux-style socket API ...
I was looking through the plans for C++0x and came upon std::initializer_list for implementing initializer lists in user classes. This class could not be implemented in C++
without using itself, or else using some "compiler magic". If it could, it wouldn't be needed since whatever technique you used to implement initializer_list could ...

I have a library A, that I develop. When I deploy it on a machine, the corresponding libA.so and libA-X.Y.Z.so are put in /usr/lib (X.Y.Z being the version number).
Now I develop a library B, which uses A. When I link B, I use the flag -lA. Then "ldd libB.so" gives me :

libA-X.Y.Z.so => /usr/lib/libA-X.Y.Z.so

I am wondering what are the possible value for *_la_LDFLAGS in Makefile.am ?
If I ask this question, it is because I would like the following :
Actual shared library : libA.so (or with the version number I don't care)
Symbolic links : libA-X.Y.Z.so, libA-X.so, libA.so
soname : libA-X.so
However here is what I ...
I am going to be making an application that lets users input several parameters for a bowling ball layout, and then show what that layout would look like on the ball. I have found some good resources for sphere math, so if I have a sphere whose center is (0,0,0), I will be able to get the values of the points I need on the surface of th...

When reading this question I remembered there was something I have been researching for a while now and I though Stackoverflow could be of help.
I have created a framework that handles applications as state machines. Currently all the state business logic and transactions are handled via Java code.
I was looking for some UI implementat...
I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find a message-passing concurrency (Actor) library for C (not C++). Ideally the candidate would be based on something like libevent underneath allowing for non-blocking I/O in most places. Does anyone know of such a library?

I'm looking for a good open source Windows FTP client library with a public domain or BSD-type license. Something that I have access to the source code and I can use it from C++ for Windows applications in a commercial app.
We have used Wininet for years and it's buggy and horrible. The last straw is the IE8 beta 2 contains a new bug ...

Is there a PHP class/library that would allow me to query an XHTML document with CSS selectors? I need to scrape some pages for data that is very easily accessible if I could somehow use CSS selectors (jQuery has spoiled me!). Any ideas?

When looking through the JDK, I often think to myself, "Why isn't this included in the JDK?"
I know there's Apache Commons and various other libraries, but there are somethings that are just so fundamental that I feel it should be added to the JDK.
What are some things missing that you think should be added to the JDK?

I want to be able to zip files from my non-gui C/C++ application, on several versions of Windows, Linux/Unix, and MacOS.
The user will compile and run using this app using Eclipse + makefile or VisualStudio. I don't want the user to have to install something separately, or have my makefile install executables.
Prefer open-source. I'm a...
