Does anyone know of a good source to find complete applications written in VB 2005 or 2008 with source code included? I just want to go through some real world applications to get an idea of how professional programmers program. I'd like to get an idea of how all the disconnected topics written about in books get actually integrated into a real world application. I don't particularly care too much what the application is about, so long as it isn't too esoteric as to be meaningless. Is it just a pipe dream?

Specifically, I'd love to see a real application using LINQ to SQL or the Entity Framework. I read all these tutorials and blogs about these technologies but I never see anything other than limited little examples that often, in the context of a rich application become so intertwined with other requirements that the examples are no longer particularly useful.

I'd like to read through a couple of applications like detective novels... and figure out "who dun' it".

Thanks,
Jerome
