QRCoder
A pure C# Open Source QR Code implementation
QRCoder is a simple library, written in C#.NET, which enables you to create QR codes. It hasn't any dependencies on other libraries and is available as .NET Framework and .NET Core PCL version on NuGet. Feel free to grab-up/fork the project and make it better! QRCoder is a .NET library, completely written in C#, which enables you to generate QR Codes as defined by ISO/IEC 18004. The main target of the QRCoder library is to deliver a small and easy-to-use solution, which has no dependencies to other libraries or network stacks. (Like QR Code generators which are relying on online services which makes them vulnerable/slow in some cases.) Although simplicity is one of the main goals, QRCoder is really flexible, in both "output formats" as well as in "payload types". Payload types? Yes, QRCoder brings its own "payload generator", which helps you to create a big list of different payload types to generate special QR codes like "WiFi QR Codes", "Girocodes", "SwissQRCodes" and many more. -

Cecil
Cecil is a library to inspect, modify and create .NET programs
Cecil is a library to inspect, modify and create .NET programs and libraries. Mono.Cecil is a library to generate and inspect programs and libraries in the ECMA CIL form. Analyze .NET binaries using a simple and powerful object model, without having to load assemblies to use Reflection. Modify .NET binaries, add new metadata structures and alter the IL code. Cecil has been around since 2004 and is widely used in the .NET community. If you're using Cecil, or depend on a framework, project, or product using it, please consider sponsoring Cecil. Cecil 0.10 beta 5 addresses a long standing issue: previously, a rewrite of native pdb files would lose some debugging information, including the list of namespaces that were used in methods (and thus breaking the expression evaluation) or the scopes in generators (for iterators or async methods). -

ClashN
A clash client for Windows, support Mihomo
clashN is a Windows desktop client for the Clash networking engine, providing a graphical interface to manage proxies, rules, and profiles. It wraps the Clash core in a familiar, configurable UI so users can import subscriptions, switch nodes, and observe connections without editing YAML by hand. The app emphasizes rule-based routing, letting you combine rule providers and policy groups to steer traffic by domain, process, or destination category. System-wide proxy control, including PAC and TUN/TAP options, helps route applications that don’t natively support proxies. Logs, traffic charts, and connection inspectors make troubleshooting and optimization straightforward. For power users, granular profile editing and hot-reloading reduce the friction of iterating on configurations.
