Links
This is a list of all the webpages I find useful when looking for information to help build a new application. If you have any submissions to this list, send the link to me by clicking
here.
All links will open in their own windows.
Note: All the links here are not controlled by The Visual Basic Archive, and we have no control over the content displayed.
Microsoft
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/
Microsoft has (typically) changed this entire site to support VB.NET, and it is hard to find any documentation for previous versions.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
A great place to start looking for answers. However, this library does include documentation on the rest of the Visual Studio products, so you will often get hits for C as well.
Third-Party
http://www.codehound.com/vb/
A Visual Basic-only search engine that does a great job looking for what you need. Also offers a
Visual Basic add-in to make searching even easier. CodeHound also supports other programming languages.
http://www.vbapi.com
A great site when looking for API-related information. (357 functions are documented.) Even though it is still hosted, the webmaster no longer updates the site, so don't go looking for updates.
http://www.directx4vb.com
Has great tutorial and downloads to help you build a DirectX game.
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/
Contains many articles on API declares and the like. This website does not contain any VB.NET code.
http://www.thescarms.com/VBasic/
This site contains well-explained code about some programming topics like screen savers, registry hacks, ect.
