Hardcore Visual Basic OnlineFabulous, fabulous thing, the entire text of the second edition of Bruce McKinney's damn near perfect VB book (which is sadly now out of print) online. Read it, be happy and thank Karl Peterson for so graciously posting it. Last Updated: 14 January 2003 |

Hardcore Visual Basic Source OnlineInfamously, Bruce McKinney gave up on VB when version 6 was released. This article covers why he did, most of which I must admit to having considerable sympathy with (although he did seem to have failed to take into account my advice on the, erm, fact that only VB releases with odd version numbers are any good, and he appears to be just bitching now.) Better than that is the fantastic side effect of his jumping ship: you can download absolutely all of the code for his abortive edition 3 of the book free courtesy of DevX. Most highly recommended! Just be sure that you keep the words "Visual Basic" next to the "Hardcore"... Last Updated: 14 January 2003 |

Brad's VB-32 Programs & SamplesSome very interesting code here including a sample (EnumDeskVB) which creates TreeView and ListView controls without OCXs and then uses the Shell's interfaces to populate the controls with file and directory lists. This site is the original source of the IShellFolder type library used in some of the samples at this site. Last Updated: 14 January 2003 |

VB NetThe first rule about VB NET is you don't talk about VB.NET. The second rule is... Ok, enough pitiable sarcasm, this site is excellent and has been a continually updated source of VB (but not VB.NET) tips for as long as I can remember. Easy to follow and very high quality control in the code. Last Updated: 9 January 2003 |
