Before downloading, read the license agreement carefully, please. By downloading any of the files below, you agree to the license terms. You can see licensing FAQ for already answered questions.


IMPORTANT: Before installing new version, make sure you have performed full uninstall of the previous version. If you modified or recompiled any files, you will have to remove left over files manually, otherwise you might get into difficulties trying to run newer version.

If you want to recompile projects (samples, skins) coming with the installation, you might have to reassign TomShane.Neoforce.Importers.dll to Content references and then assign proper importers for particular resources like XML skin file and cursor files.

SUBSCRIBERS: Source code package is supposed to be installed in the same folder like Neoforce Controls binaries installation (default C:\Program Files\Tom Shane\Neoforce Controls\). It means, you need to download and install regular package and after that run installation of Neoforce Controls Source. You might not be able to recompile sources if you perform standalone installation.
