Visual Basic Samples on Code Gallery

Published 29 January 08 03:57 PM

Yesterday Soma announced The MSDN Code Gallery where Microsoft employees and the community can post samples and resources they want to share. This is a great site to use to share code, docs, videos, or any other content without having to manage a source-controlled project that takes code contributions like those on CodePlex. You can use the MSDN Code Gallery for those "fire-and-forget" samples or you can get creative and publish a landing page, enable discussions and even track issues.

Check out the Visual Basic samples up there that have been published so far. I've started publishing the How Do I video code samples up there and have enabled discussions so it's easier to ask questions and hopefully the community will join in since my bandwidth is much smaller than all you folks. :-)

Enjoy!

I would like to know about programming the sub forms in visual basic where rows and columns get data linked to customized tables. For examples using master-child forms although this is possible with data grids but I want to customise as per my needs and lots more of programming logics.

Hi Narendra,

I'm not sure what your asking exactly but maybe this will get you going in the right direction:

Beth, I'm, looking for a simple vb express 2005/8 email sender (like Outlook Express) that I can put on any machine regardless of the serverhost, smtp, IIS or whatever.  Any suggestions?

!Love! your How-do-I series.  Only wish I was half as enthusiastic sounding!

Hi Ed,

You may want to check out this VB MVP article available on the VB Dev Center on how to send emails in .NET. It's really easy:

Love the videos.  Great stuff.  Is there one that shows how populated the contents of a combobox baded on whats selected in a previous combobox.  The populted the next combobox based on the previous comboboxes selection, etc. etc. etc.  I am assuming that I need to rebuild queries on the fly based on the sleected items, but do I use a "refresh" on the next combo box???

Any place you can steer me would be appreciated
