latest version: Subro.Designer.zip

VS.net is of course great, and the .net framework has great possibilities for expanding custom behaviour for your custom controls, but sometimes that implementation can be a bit, well... cumbersome. For the most common reoccuring tasks that I personally find myself using from time to time, here are some custom tools. Perhaps others find it useful as well :)
Though written in C#, the dll is usable in vb.net and other .net languages as well.

latest version: Combinations.zip

This project creates all possible combinations (technically they are permutations, because the order does matter, but combinations is better for the everyday speech ;-) ) out of an inputstring.
The options are
 * the input string (eg "ABCCADEA")
 * the output length (long output lengths do require a lot of memory. Perhaps future versions will make inbetween drops to disk)
 * the dictionary (optional, if a dictionary list has been submitted, only words that exist in that dictionary are allowed (also searches a lot faster than all permutations))

latest version: FormulaParser.zip

The formula parser does just that: it parses formulas and calculates their results (after filling in parameters if needed) eg. "3+4*(4-9)" can be parsed and calculated directly, but for "3*x+5", x has to be filled with a value first. The parser has been optimalized to parse the string first and then do as many calculations as needed, while filling in parameters.
