Web Thummer
$39.95 - RC Media Services

Web Thummer is a Web site capture tool that outputs any size JPG file of a given HTML document, local or remote. It can automate the process of capturing hundreds of documents into thumbnail sized OR full size, FULL LENGTH images for purposes ranging from visual indexing, to archiving. Webmasters can present links in a visual fashion, and template designers can rapidly turn folders full of template files into thumbnails sized images for display. Local file functions can scan folders (recursively or not), to generate images of any size, directly in their respective folders.

Web Thummer will save you substantially more than it's selling price in terms of time, the very first time you use it. Thummer is extremely easy to use, and the speed at which it works is a relief to anyone who has ever done this the old fashion way. And Thummer's FULL LENGTH mode will amuse even the Web veteran.

The vOICe Learning Edition
$0 - The vOICe (CEO Peter B.L. Meijer)

The vOICe seeing-with-sound software translates images from a PC camera (webcam) into sounds that you hear via your stereo headphones, thus targetting sensory substitution applications for the totally blind, and even synthetic vision. Some blind people wear it daily with a wearable setup to "see" their environment as they go around, while other blind people (blind from birth) use it to experience for the very first time what vision is like. The vOICe uses pitch for height and loudness for brightness in a left to right scan of any view. Apart from using a webcam or equivalent video capture device, images may also be imported from an image file (Control O) or acquired with a flatbed scanner (Control Q).

10Tec iGrid.NET
$199 - 10Tec Company

iGrid.NET is the most flexible, fast and easiest grid for the .NET Framework. It provides you with a wide range of properties and events which allow you to highly customize it for your particular task. You can use iGrid.NET either as a list view substitution or as a full-featured grid control. With iGrid.NET you can:
- format each cell independently as well as the whole column at once,
- create a message preview like in MS Outlook,
- build tree-like interfaces,
- freeze rows and columns,
- design multi-row headers with merged header cells,
- make scroll bars semi-transparent,
- add custom buttons to scroll bars,
- display custom drop-down controls,
- edit multi-row text,
- save and restore column layout,
- dynamically adjust contents of group rows,
- and do a lot of other things.

iGrid.NET fully supports right-to-left mode (for such languages as Hebrew or Arabic). To put iGrid.NET in this mode, it is enough to set its RightToLeft property to True.

The vast majority of iGrid.NET's settings can be done in design-time - you can populate and format the entire grid practically the way you need in Visual Studio IDE before you compile and launch your project.

Simple access to the cells, columns, rows, and header cells makes iGrid.NET nice to work with. You can use for-each statement to enumerate all the cells, rows, columns. Also you can enumerate the cells of a row or column. The string keys make it easier to access quickly any required row, column, or cell. If you need to format an individual cell, you can define a cell style object with required formatting and apply it to this cell. But there is a simpler way when you format a cell through its properties:
iGrid1.Cells[1, 2].BackColor = Color.Magenta;
iGrid1.Cells[1, 2].ForeColor = Color.White;
iGrid1.Cells[1, 2].Font = new Font("Tahoma", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
