Is this a seperate titbit? Or does it belong to the above? Just need to clear up what does what.

Please send any other bit to the VBCodebook email address:

VBCodebook .NET Snippets

Saves the Forum being packed.

And thanks :D

That is a separate item.

When sending any code snippets, could you head them with one of the following catagories, or if it doesn't fit under any of them please put what heading it should be under:

Database
File Handling
Graphics
Internet
Multimedia
System
Tips & Advice
Tutorials
Visual FX
Windows / Forms

(these can be subject to change)

Thanks :)

Network stuff
OOP tutorials
just a thought !;)

Thanks pirate, those headings are just the ones I though the code I have should go under, no doubt there'll be a lot of change.

C'mon folks, there's not been many code snippets sent in, you must have something in your programs that you're proud of, something that made life that little bit easier.

Don't forget to keep sending :D

Pretty please with cherries on top.

:cool:

*bump* ;)

I still need tons more code, anything, please send it in, you could be saving someone from hours of frustration.

:)

dood!

I mean dood!

What a nice piece of work ...

This should be a sticky thread

There is now a Poll at the VBCodeBook.Net Website on what you want so see more of, please give a vote so I know what you want.

Cheers!

For me , I wish to see more internet and networking stuff plz but I can't see that on your site.:(

id like to see how to work registering login stuff (like it saves it and when you log off it stays so that in a day or two you can go back on the same name w. same stats/lvls)

that would be cool (kewl kool)

I must stress that I don't write the code, I only collect the code, without peoples interaction, VBCodeBook.NET will become old hat and will eventually cease to be.

I try to collect as much code as I can from other sites and I try to input my own (the little that it is) but if there is something you wish to see particularly, it's up to the other VB.NET users to come to the rescue. :)

Nicky , It would be nicer if you assigned different icons for different items . thanx .

yeah, it would wouldn't it, this is on my list of to do... :D

Just thought I'd bump this for those who don't know :D

PS that method of exiting an application is not recommended as this does not properly ensure disposal of garbage.

Take a look on msdn or even just look in .net help and you will see an article which addresses this issue.

Exactly , So better you loop through all instances to dispose them rather than closing your application with some instances left out there , Or in the main form of the app , dispose your objes in "Dispose" method (I've not tried it though).

The only thing I hate in GC is , it fires in random times . So you can never fire it yourself .:rolleyes:
