Randy Birch's VBnet
VBnet is Randy's way to share what he has been learning poring over the MSDN and other API references, and what he has received from friends and contributors. He writes, "My rewards are many ... the thanks that I get from the seven hundred thousand plus visitors who happened upon just that perfect piece of code they needed while at VBnet, as well as the chance to expand my knowledge drumming up these examples."

The Win32 page contains a variety of Win32 samples, covering areas such as LSA, MIDL and RPC, Network, NTFS streams, Processes, Security, and a few others. Note that Felix does not speak VB.

L.J. Johnson's Slightly Tilted Software   Feb 16, 2001
All of the code from articles that L.J. has done for VBPJ over the years. Mainly NT administrative-type programs and utilities, but many are useful for anyone who uses NT and Visual Basic. Extensive use of some of the more esoteric API programming under NT (including file security). A sampling of WMI and ADSI programming is also included, along with photos of other MVPs and well-known VB personalities from VBits.

David Liske's HTML Help Center

Dedicated to VB programming, this subweb contains a growing collection of the samples, demos, and tools that Karl has put together over the years.
