Here presented for your delight is a wall of VB.NET code. These are code samples and fragments I have collected over a length of time, some of which have appeared in the Snippets section.

Initially, it lists code by the name of the Control it demonstrates but thereafter it loses some order. Personally, I search a keyword or control name to find what I'm looking for.

There are fairly limited comments as it wasn't intended for public perusal ;) although it should be self-documenting anyway.
