Code samples are developers’ favorite asset.   In partnership with MSDN Samples Gallery team, we just released a new Sample Browser applications -  a new way for developers to search, download and enjoy 3500 code samples at their fingertips.

The 3500 code samples are from MSDN Samples Gallery, including 800+ Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework samples, 480+ official Windows 8 Beta samples, 150+ official Windows Azure samples, 600+ WPF, ASP.NET, Windows Phone 7, Silverlight samples, and more.  We hope that this new Sample Browser would ease the way that developers discover and use samples.
