The Site This site will remain in it's constant state of construction and be updated on a rather irregular basis (in other words I'd much rather be writing code than making this site much prettier). Its sole purpose is to provide most unique, effective, and advanced code and concepts for Visual Basic developers in as simple and clear of a format as possible. It is brought to you by Brad Martinez, curator and reluctant web author. The Code Due credit is paid to those whose ideas and concepts were borrowed and used in the code demos. The code and executables are written in either VB5 or VB4a-32, and have been tested on both Win95, NT4 Workstation, and in some cases both Win98 and Win2K as well. The respective VB runtime files are not included in any of the zips, expediting your download time. Other dependent ActiveX and type library files are included only where necessary. Many newer VB5 code examples use subclassing to achieve their respective functionality. Most of those examples utilize the services of the "Debug Object for AddressOf Subclassing" ActiveX server, Dbgwproc.dll, allowing unencumbered code execution when in break mode in the VB IDE. This server is freely distributable and can be obtained from http://vbnet.mvps.org/dev/main/index.html. The Rules Unless noted otherwise, all files and code available on this site are authored by Brad Martinez, who retains exclusive copyright protection and distribution rights. Developers are free to use any code or concepts presented on this site in their applications without liability or compensation, but the courtesy of both notification of use and inclusion of due credit are requested. It is PROHIBITED to distribute or reproduce any of the files or code found in this site for profit or otherwise, on any web site, ftp server or BBS, or by any other means, including CD-ROM or other physical media, without the EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION of the author. The Questions Due to an inordinate amount of email I receive regarding development specific questions, I find it sometimes difficult to respond. If you don't hear from me, I recommend searching either Microsoft's MSDN Library Online, Microsoft's Online Support Knowledge Base, or Deja News newsgroup archives for answers to your Visual Basic related questions. You may find me frequenting some of the "vb" newsgroups on the Microsoft news server msnews.microsoft.com, and on occasion, the "vb" newsgroups on the news server news.devx.com.
