Default A code book for you, by you.

I'm fairly new to VB Net (but not VB6) and i'm compiling a code book (it was primarely for myself) with various snippets of code, ranging from the ridiculously simple (like returning the type of OS, or how to make text in a text box bold) to the extremely indepth (like file handling, or system calls).

If anyone has ANY snippets they'd like to send I would be most greatful and I'll send a copy of the code book to those who want one everytime there's a major update.

Here is the email address if you like to send anything:

vbcodebook@madladdesigns.co.uk

Please comment them heavily as they are for everyone, including beginners. Of course, you will be credited if your snippet is used.

You never know, there could be something in there that even you never knew!

I know there are various sites with snippets but I'm compiling something I can print out to read away from the computer.

Please, all contributions are welcome as without them, there is no code book.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

It is a good ideas, but why don't you shared this vbcodebook over Internet and everyone can have a look and add or improve it?

Is it possible?

Sorry for the late reply.

There is now a website from which you can download a beta version of the VBCodebook .NET:

VBCodebook .NET

I don't want to create a code site as there are many already out there, I'm creating a sort of Help file of code snippets that you can easily get to.

If you, or anyone, has any bits of code, tips, advice, workarounds you use, please send them to help create a program that everyone can use.

Thanks.

Yeah, please let us know when the code pack is available. At the moment it cannot be found with the link on the downloads page of your site. Thanks.

Apologies to those who tried to download the CodePack but couldn't (oops!). The CodePack should now be available to download.
