IconWanted.Com – a helpful free resource for UI designers, software developers and webmasters
High-quality interface icons are just as important for a successful product, site or online service as are its interface, performance, functionality, ease of use and many other aspects comprising the user experience.
Icons are on the front of any software solution, thus immediately creating a lasting impression about the overall quality of the product and professionalism of its creators.
Aha-Soft has been always committed to creating top-quality icons for the industry professionals and is now launching a dedicated resource featuring hundreds of professionally crafted interface icons that can be browsed and downloaded free of charge.
Aha-Soft is glad to announce the launch of IconWanted.Com – a searchable catalog of free, high-quality interface icons for anyone looking for an affordable and hassle-free way to drastically improve the quality of their program interfaces.
The site is based on a search engine that enables users to quickly find the necessary icons in over 200 icon collections currently featured on the site. Each icon collection can also be browsed individually.
The icon view page allows users to switch between three background types (white, transparent, black), view the icon in all of the available sizes and download it with a single mouse click in one or all supported formats (IconWanted.Com currently supports icons in ICO, PNG, GIF, BMP and JPEG formats).
The built-in search functionality makes it possible to search icons by name, size, license type and style, while viewing can be organized by category, author or style. The basic site features are available to all users without exceptions, while registered site members get access to several advanced functions, and namely:
- Possibility to download an entire collection of icons with a single click
- Possibility to add icons and collections to personal favorites for ease of navigation
- Possibility to rate icons on the scale of 1 to 5
Site registration is 100% free. Users can also watch for site updates by subscribing to the site’s RSS feed or email newsletter, or by checking out the site’s Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz accounts. All information about new icon collections will be posted there.
The idea is very simple. The more good icons there are on the market, the more good-looking interfaces we´ll see in the future.” says Dmitry Costenco, webmaster of Aha-Soft.
We thought that it would be a great idea to create a centralized and easily searchable storage of interface icons for various types of programs and solutions, and offer it to the public for free.
We really hope our new site will help many people out there get their projects done in time and the way they envision them. With more and more valuable contributions made to the site, it will grow to eventually become what we hope will be a one-stop-shopping center for UI icons – except that in this shop, everything will be free.
About Aha-Soft
With one of the largest selections of stock icons and custom small graphics on the web, Aha-Soft represents the growing demand for professional icons and icon creation tools throughout the development and graphics communities.

Press release: The iMacros team releases Microsoft WebBrowser Control Replacement
Developers that are building .NET applications that interact with websites – e.g. for web automation, web testing, BPO process automation or web scraping – are often struggling to find a way to automate websites with the standard Microsoft WebBrowser control. Developed by iopus, a Heidelberg, Germany based company, the new iMacros Component for .NET is built with support for Ajax, Flash and Silverlight automation.
The iMacros Component is a .NET professional component that enables .NET developers to automate websites from their .NET applications (C#, VB.NET). A set of well-considered and clear API functions allows developers to automate form filling, data uploads and downloads, capturing screenshots, and extracting data from websites. The iMacros Component is the only web browser control that supports automating all Ajax functions (including HTML5), Flash and Silverlight.
The embeddable iMacros Component gives developers the ability to build their own .NET application with all of the power of the popular iMacros Browser in a few hours. The iMacros Component consists of a tabbed web browser control, a dialog manager, image recognition, DirectScreen technology for automating Flash and Silverlight, and all the other features available in the iMacros Browser. And just like the iMacros Browser, the component is 100% Internet Explorer compatible.
The iMacros Component can be used instead of the Microsoft WebBrowser control inside the application. iMacros takes care of all the low level web automation work (DOM handling, events, BHO, Windows hooks, etc.), so developers can concentrate on what really counts: The business case.
iMacros works with every website. Even the most complicated websites that use dialog boxes, frames, Javascript, Flash, Java and AJAX can be automated. Where other software fails, iMacros can automate it. iMacros is also the only solution that can automate Flash, Flex and Java applets.
The use of iMacros enforces clear separation of website related scripts and coding. If there are changes in the website, one only needs to change the iMacros scripts without any change in the code base. This results in extremely low maintenance costs. The component license includes royalty free distribution
You can read more about the iMacros Component for .NET and download a 30-day trial version with C# and VB.NET sample projects from http://www.iopus.com/iMacros/component.htm/
About iOpus Software
Founded in 2000, iOpus builds cost-effective software that is both powerful and easy to use.

WAPT Pro 2.5: A load testing solution for mobile web applications and Silverlight
SoftLogica Inc has announced the release of a new version of its flagship product WAPT Pro. WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for web sites and software applications with web interface.
Its main advantage is the ability to create realistic tests very quickly with help of a regular browser. The product does not require any programming background, so it can be used by quite a wide range of specialists from QA engineers to managers and business analysts.
The Pro version of WAPT combines technical affordability with high performance and scalability required by industry standards. The product can use multiple servers to generate the desired test load, emulating tens of thousands concurrent users.
Such load is sufficient to perform the overall stress testing of a popular internet portal. The distributed product architecture makes it a cloud-ready solution, meaning that it can manage tests executed with help of remotely located load agents.
WAPT Pro 2.5 Features
Since web developers try to utilize all the power of the latest browser versions, they have to adjust the site content accordingly. This often leads to significant differences in web site behavior depending on the client browser. The most important case is a web site specifically adjusted for mobile access.
One of the newly introduced features in the version 2.5 is the ability to record and replay user sessions executed in any external browser, even a one running on a different system or a mobile device. This means that, for example, you can configure your Android browser to connect to your web site using WAPT Pro and click through your pages on the device to let the load testing tool record the session.
When running the test, WAPT Pro will emulate thousand copies of this recorded session. It will no longer need the mobile device for this purpose, but will perform its exact emulation.
This new release also comes with a new extension module capable of testing web applications implemented in Microsoft Silverlight. This module can parse and rebuild binary messages encapsulated in the HTTP traffic between the client and server part of such applications.
As a result, WAPT Pro creates data-driven tests for Silverlight applications, making each users session use its own unique data.
The third important feature is the ability to export full test statistics to an external database. This possibility is a must-have for those who test their web applications on the regular basis and need to fully integrate a load testing tool in the development process.
While WAPT Pro offers its own set of tools for the test data visualization and analysis, including descriptive graphs, reports and logs, it is beneficial for historical purposes to export the results of multiple tests to a separate database.
Pricing and Availability
The free 30-day trials of WAPT Pro and Module for Silverlight testing are available for download at http://www.loadtestingtool.com/download.shtml. The license price is $900 for WAPT Pro and $300 for Module for Silverlight testing.
About SoftLogica
SoftLogica focuses on the development, marketing and support of file and network management tools and utilities.

PowerMockup 2.0 Released – Rapid Wireframing Plugin for PowerPoint
Wulfsoft is announcing the release of version 2.0 of PowerMockup, a tool for rapidly sketching user interfaces of websites and software applications. Following the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, PowerMockup helps developers, designers and managers to bring form to design ideas and make concepts tangible.
The screen sketches created with PowerMockup provide stakeholders with a clear representation of the proposed solution. This enables design flaws and misunderstandings to be revealed early, before they are implemented in code and become expensive to correct.
PowerMockup works as a plugin for Microsoft PowerPoint, making it easy to use in a familiar environment. It extends PowerPoint with a stencil library of 79 typical user interface elements (buttons, text boxes, menus, tabs, tables, etc) and 86 wireframe icons.
Adding a stencil to a design is just a matter of draggin`g it from the library onto the current slide. Using PowerPoint´s built-in slideshow functionality, it´s possible to link different sketches together to produce a clickable prototype for demonstrating the application flow.
Version 2.0 of PowerMockup was redesigned from the ground up. The stencil library now has an “Instant Search” box for quickly finding stencils by name or tag. Another major addition is the ability to create, import and export custom stencils and categories. This allows users to build their own stencil catalogs and share them with co-workers and clients.
PowerMockup runs under Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and requires Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 to be installed. A single-user license costs $39.95(US) and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Users can purchase the software online, or download a trial version, from http://www.powermockup.com/
About Wulfsoft
Since 2000, Wulfsoft has been developing and marketing programming and web development tools. In addition to PowerMockup, the company also offers DataVoila (a scripting tool for data editing tasks), WebExe (a converter for turning HTML pages into .exe files), and HTML Guard (a copy protection solution for website content).

EmailVerify.NET v4.3 released with support for internationalized mailbox names
EmailVerify.NET v4.3 has been released with support for Internationalized mailbox names such as such as 中文測試@中文.tw or асиич@мировая-почта.ru!. The product already has support for internationalized domain names, which allows users to validate email addresses such as john@café.com or lee@??.w3.mag.keio.ac.jp. The product is used to verify the existence of an email address in real time from an ASP.NET page.
In addition to the support for internationalized mailbox names, EmailVerify.NET now fully supports RFC 5336 and can validate non-ASCII email addresses both syntactically and at the mailbox level (using the UTF8SMTP extension to the SMTP protocol) like the usual ASCII email addresses.
This new feature inevitably brings a couple of (very small!) breaking changes in the VerificationResult class, where the AsciiEmailAddress and the AsciiEmailAddressLocalPart properties has been retired. The vendor has replaced them with EmailAddress and EmailAddressLocalPart respectively.
There is also a new status code, named ServerDoesNotSupportInternationalMailboxes, that is returned by the component whenever the target mail exchanger can’t accept internationalized mailbox names while you are validating one of them.
The vendor has also added a new property named SyntaxFailureIndex to the VerificationResult class, that returns the index of the first faulty character in the event of syntax validation failures.
You can view a live demo of EmailVerify.NET at emailverify.net/Demo.aspx and can also download a trial version from emailverify.net/Download.

Basic Fundamentals To Blogging
If writing is considered an art, then, blogging is one way of employing words to create a piece of art. The reason being those who are into blogging are individuals who are artistic on their own sense, carefully selecting words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes, desires, and everything.
Basically, blogs were first introduced as weblogs that talk about a server’s log file. It was created when web logging hit the virtual market. Since its creation from the mid-1990s, web logging gradually saturated the virtual community making the world wide web a viable method to obtain greater information about any subject. Wheither it be about search engine optimization or fly fishing bloggers have formed a important part of the web.
However, with web blogging, you still need an internet site and domain names, however with blogging, you don’t need anything just a personal account with blog providers. In many instances, most of these blogs are free of charge.
Aided by the onset of blogging in the industry, personal journaling was a common ground for many who aspire to be known around the globe. However, not literally famous as this isn’t an instance on being popular or well-known personality.

Business blogs are, basically, created to advertise the services or products of a certain internet site or web business as a way to increase online sales. Most compay blogs focus on their state that they provide the service to. Such as a Utah SEO company would talk about how they improved a clients website that was based out of Utah. It doesn’t make sense to blog about places that your product or services are not offered.
Moreover, business blogs are also another way of promoting the corporation so that the other readers know that a certain company exists online. With blogs, entrepreneurs can set up a name inside the virtual market through articles that may be very useful within the reader’s life.
