Edanmo's VB Page |
|
This site is all about advanced source code. The source code itself is outstanding -- VB source for custom controls you have dreamed about and system operations you've wanted to perform. On top of that, you get a bunch of free pre-compiled controls and time saving type libraries ready for use. |

vbAccelerator |
| An absolutely excellent site! The source code, custom controls, and in-house articles stand out in the crowd of Visual Basic sites. There's nothing more to say. | |

|
VBnet |
|
VBnet focuses mainly on using the Windows API from Visual Basic. The site includes tons and tons of code samples on how to perform any given task using API calls. You must be in serious trouble if you cannot find a solution at VBnet. As part of VBnet's philosophy, the code isn't contained in downloadable form; rather, it's listed entirely in the article. Inconvenient if there is a lot of code to copy, but more convenient when you want to browse through it to get the general idea. All in al... |

Brad's VB-32 Programs & Samples |
|
A real top site. The source code available at Brad's reveals the downsides to Microsoft's common controls by taking them places you've only dreamed, and demonstrates a lot of API functions available. The site is only updated at irregular intervals. This may discourage you from returning, but check in now and then to catch the few updates. It may be worth it. |

Read Hardcore Visual Basic |
| Hardcore Visual Basic, having been discontinued by Microsoft, is now published online at Karl E. Peterson's One-Stop Source Shop. | |
| |
|
VB Web |
| An excellent site. The VB Web contains numerous tutorials on all flavours of Visual Basic development, with a vast source collection and well structured content. | |
| |
 |
Abstract VB |
| This site contains lots of information. A somewhat unstructured layout makes it less attractive to navigate, but the information is up-to-date and well kept. | |
| |
|
AllApi.net |
|
AllApi.net contains a lot of API information for VB developers. They have a lot of source code and a fair set of tutorials, and provide a good resource. The most important feature at AllApi.net is the API Guide. This excellent piece of software contains a searchable index of the entire API, with descriptions and examples for each function. A must-have if you regularly work with API calls. |

AndreaVB |
| An excellent site with lots of information. The content ranges from low level programming using the Windows API, to ASP and COM components. You might get a bit lost in the design, but focusing on the center white section of the page will help a lot. | |

|
Carl & Gary's Visual Basic Home Page |
|
Carl & Gary's was one of the first Visual Basic sites, and they benefit from their long experience. The site contains an enourmous amount of information, and they cover every aspect of Visual Basic programming. However, the information is unstructured and hard to navigate. The Links section, by their own admission, contains 99% of the content, and the table of contents for this section is endless. |

Common Controls Replacement Project |
|
Microsoft provides VB developers with control wrappers for the Windows common controls API -- an often used resource for GUI developers. The CCRP intends to replace Microsoft's wrapper with new and improved wrapper controls that impose fewer limitations on the programmers, increase our opportunities and ease our work. All controls developed with the CCRP are free, but they have decided to keep their source to themselves. This shouldn't stop you from using their controls, though. |

Cool Visual Basic |
| Cool Visual Basic is a large information base, focusing on in-depth technical articles and product reviews. | |

|
DevX Guide to Visual Basic 7.0 |
| The site brings a good overview of the new features and issues in Visual Basic 7.0. It is a spin-off from Visual Basic Programmer's Journal and the Windows Developer's Exchange, and has a wide range of technical writers. | |
| |
|
DirectX for Visual Basic |
| An excellent site for DirectX information. The author goes to great lengths to satisfy all levels of experience in his audience, as he guides the user through the entire world of DirectX. The only downside is the lack of a search function -- there is so much code, and so many tutorials, finding the one document that deals with a specific problem can be tough. | |

Error handling in Visual Basic |
| |
|
FreeVBCode |
| This site is a large and well sorted collection of source code. The code pieces range from banal to excellent, and should satisfy all levels of expertise. | |

Just VB Jobs |
|
A very good employment site for Visual Basic developers. The site contains jobs either exclusively for or including VB competence, and features jobs all over the world. A flexible search routine makes the site easy to navigate. Both recruiters and employees can register and submit information online, and information can be automatically sent your way when someone has taken an interest in your resume or job offer. An extra star is awarded for orienting themselves at the international market... |
