Assembling a Free WPF Development Toolset
Want to get started playing around with WPF applications, but you'd rather save your cash for some SLI video cards? Never fear - we've assembled a list of free (as in gratis) tools for most facets of WPF development.
Essentials
Visual Studio Express Editions (C#/VB.NET) and Visual Studio Extensions for .NET 3.0 will get you up and running and building "hello world".
Optional - Development
Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit for Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components - this SDK includes a number of samples, tools and documentation that can be very helpful when developing WPF applications.
Optional - Design
Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor. It is ideal for creating vector icons, complex paths, geometries and the like. It's native file format is SVG, an XML dialect for representing vector graphics. In order to incorporate Inkscape into your WPF tool-chain you'll need this handy SVG to XAML converter, written by Andrej Benedik from wpf-graphics.com.
Optional - 3D
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite. You can use it to develop 3D content, which you then export to XAML using this export script from Daniel Lehenbauer from the WPF 3D team at MS. Note - the latest release of Blender seems to have some issues running on Vista. Also, to run the export script you will need to install Python.
Optional - Components
Xceed DataGrid for WPF is a free, commercial-quality data grid offered by Xceed. WPF does not include a datagrid as one of the build-in controls, and Xceed has more than filled this gap with their grid. You can also catch an interview with Pascal Bourque, one of the senior developers from Xceed on Channel9, talking about the new approaches and opportunities for developing components for WPF.

Joseph!
It’s good that you remade your captcha. Main object of my project Month of Bugs in Captchas is to inform web developers and Internet community about vulnerabilities in captchas, and to push web developers to make more secure captchas (to remake current or to make new ones). So you did that you need to do. And now your captcha not vulnerable for one of two bypass method. But it’s still vulnerable.
Like I wrote in my article, your captcha is vulnerable for two methods: Guessing from URL bypass method and MustLive CAPTCHA bypass method (Advanced version). You fixed first bypassing method in you captcha, but there is the second. So the same exploit is still work (because it was made with second bypass method). As I wrote, better to use not first method (guessing), but my advanced method to hack this captcha (which shown in the exploit). And this method easily bypass your new captcha, like old one - it’s very effective method.
So you need more reliable captcha.
P.S.
Joseph if you continue to talk unserious things about me and my site (especially vulgar things, like in your new captcha), I’ll stop speaking with you - to not waste your time, nor my time. So try to be serious man.

> I won't be changing anything
Man, it's your decision.
My work is to show you and to Internet community that such types of captchas is not good (because they are vulnerable for Insufficient Anti-automation). If don't want change anything - it's your choice. I informed you - about first version of captcha and about second version of it. My work is done - fixing holes at your site (in this case in captcha) it's your work.
