(About the author)
 
     Some useful routines for those just starting out in VB.NET. File handling routines, embedded resources, graphics, system icons, ownerdrawn listboxes, serialization and much more. Presented in a format familiar to those who have used my VB 6 beginners toolboxes. Source code relevent to the current tab appearing in a text box ready for copying/saving. Included in this solution are 3 other projects I did when I first obtained Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. They are 3 simple clones of Calculator, Notepad and Minesweeper. I find that one of the best learning exercises you can do is to write clones of existing software. The coding strategies employed in an application are not always obvious until you come to duplicate the software yourself.

I like the demonstration of the ownerdrawn listbox, helped me think of a way to do something, like color each list item individual colors, thanks. .NET makes things a lot easier to do than VB6 ever did.

VB.NET, once you go .NET you never go back.
