Thank you, I'll check it. It's listed in (MSDN Home > Visual Studio > Support & Community > Community) as related Sites: GotDotNet, CodeProject, DevX CodeProject: Free source code and tutorials for Windows developers providing programming informaiton for Visual C++, C#, and Microsoft .NET. Includes articles, code snippets, and discussions. They missed VB.NET for some reason in this description, but they do have VB.NET articles.
