Where can you release eensy weensy helpful little .NET classes?

I find myself writing a lot of reusable code because I couldn't find reusable code that other people wrote. Tiny stuff, like little winforms components, among other things.

I am looking for a website where I could release this sort of stuff to the public with licensing on it. I don't need something like Google Code/Sourceforge/Codeplex, as it's too big for tiny classes that I know can help others. Something like the PHP Classes Repository, but for .NET.

I don't need things like version control, forums, wikis, issue trackers... I just want a place to share code quickly and easily.

Does a such a site exist?

As I realized when I was commenting on an answer, the ideal vision of what I'm looking for (in my head) is something like the "flickr" of code. Something where I can toss up a package of source, write a brief description, tag it, and be done with it. If something like that doesn't exist, maybe I just found my next side project.

Joe answered with CodeKeep which is almost EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but it doesn't handle things like licensing, and it's almost a little too basic. But this is the closest so far.

EDIT: I should have mentioned, all these things are generally unrelated, and I don't want to package them all up together.

I would recommend the Microsoft Code Gallery for general purpose C# classes/utilities. They will take lots of small submissions.

For small WPF and Silverlight samples, the Microsoft Expression Community Gallery works very well, and gets a fair amount of exposure.
