Does Paint.Net still provide its source code

Question

Paint.Net used to provide a link to its source, but I can't find it (although if I recall the link was hard to find). Does any one know if they no longer provide the source. I'm only looking for it as a .Net application to learn coding practices and architecture from.

Answer 1

The source is no longer available.

See here: http://blog.getpaint.net/2009/10/14/paintnet-v35-beta-3-build-3572-is-now-available/

And more info here: http://blog.getpaint.net/2007/12/04/freeware-authors-beware-of-“backspaceware”/

Answer 2

Although the Paint.Net source code is no longer available, there's a similar image editing program called Pinta which has drawn inspiration from the former. It's written in C# (although uses the GTK GUI toolkit) so the architecture from a programming point of view maybe somewhat similar. Here's the project page, and GitHub repository.

Answer 3

Paint.NET is no longer open source, but the last open source version was forked, and is available as OpenPDN (forked from here).
