This query is for me, but I think that it'll be of use to just about
everyone who participates in this news group.

I learn better if I have a decent example to study, so I'm looking for
publicly obtainable VB. NET code samples. Sort of code samples that
have some `meat` on it.

Apart from MSDN, anyone else have a good list of web URL's to good VB.
NET resources? Preferably ones that have decent sample of code that
can be studied?

Hi Pennine Bloke,

Here's a few more to explore:

http://www.icsharpcode.net
http://www.mentalis.org/
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/
http://www.devcity.net/
http://www.developerfusion.com/
http://www.devhood.com/
http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/
http://www.experts-exchange.com/allTopics.jsp
http://www.tobiasrebele.net/
http://vbaccelerator.com/
http://dotnetmagic.com/
http://www.ondotnet.com/
http://windowsforms.net/
http://www.mvps.org/ <== English
http://www.mvps.org/dotnet/ <== !! Auf Deutsch

Finally there are some excellent projects, etc, here. The site is in
German but the code is in English. Look for the Download links and give them a
tug. I can recommend the expression evaluator, for a start.
http://www.palmbytes.de/

To get a rough idea of what the German sites are saying, go to this
translation site:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr
and enter the mvps/dotnet or palmbytes address in the Translate A Web page
box.. It will generate pretty much mangled English but it will let you know
whether there is a sample/project worth downloading.

Happy browsing :-)

Regards,
Fergus

Fergus,
I started today a HKW project.
I am making it with Windows Form and not with a WebForm.
(I was thinking to make it more usable, but than I start something like an
new MSDN, and that is something to big)
- I started making it with a tabs
- First Tab a search text to get the message in a database
- Second Tab is to Enter messages also with buttons on it like paste
- Third Tab is an Edit page.
Maybe I need your help with the search (for more clever methodes) and the
installation script for SQL
Maybe I need Herfrieds help for that USB brainconnecor to windowforms

I tell this because you are maybe doing the same and it would be a pity if I
just could get it from you
:-)

I was not sure if the OP referred to the MSDN library or MSDN online.

A couple of "samples" type books you may want to consider, as they explain
what is going on and not just show you the code.

101 Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Applications:
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6510.asp
(which is the companion book to the samples Herfried gave).

Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmers Cookbook
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6436.asp

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi Herfried,

Ah yes, not really a very good sample site - just one project and it's in
VB6!

but it shows: HOW TO - Add a plugin to IE.

Hi Cor,

|| I started today a HKW project.

As I'm studying the Registry at the moment, my first thought was
HKEY_WINDOWS. :-).

What's the project ?

I'll help in whatever way I can, of course. :-)

To get all answers in a database like Herfried. K. Wagner does it I think in
a way.

Button Copy etc.

The site has a blank start page, that's why I asked.

Hi Cor

The HKW Project = Herfried K. Wagner (trade mark, patent pending).

ROFL.

No, I haven't started a project - I emulate Herfried's methodology of
utilising existing databases:-
Outlook\MS Newsgroups
Google Search
Google Groups Search
IE Favourites
C:\CodeSnippets
DiningRoomTable\Scraps\WhereDidIPutIt.exe

The project that's required is a dedicated newsreader for people who live
a life in a newsgroup. Tom's in charge of that one, I believe.

All I've got is the title - News Monkey - for people who are swinging from
thread to thread, branch to branch. :-))

Regards,
Fergus

Erm, I've never had that many replies to one thread in such a short
time. It's going to take me ages to look through that little lot.

Thank-you everyone who's replied and will reply.

You might want to try www.planet-source-code.com too. It can be quite
irritating but you can win a prize too if you submit a nice example. I did
once, I won a crap book on XML web services, I suppose it's better than a
poke in the eye with a stick though huh?
