Late last year, I worked my tail off getting a number of small samples ready for the release of Visual Studio 2005. Well, at least I thought that was when it would be released! As it turns out, nothing was posted on MSDN until now. Introducing 101 Samples! These are almost all available in both VB and C# (unless not possible in a given language), and are extremely task-focused. Titles include:
- Creating and using User Defined Types with SQL Server 2005 (Data Access)
- Running Asynchronous Tasks (Windows Forms)
- Using LayoutPanels (Windows Forms)
- Creating custom menus in Outlook (VSTO)
- Data islands and caching (VSTO)
All samples include a small readme and full source code. Lots of good stuff there. I wrote most of the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO), Windows Forms Samples, and some of the Data Access samples. Check them all out at
