My VB stuff

This is my main page about Visual Basic topics. Here you may find opinions, how-to pieces, and some of the programming projects in VB (mostly VB 6.0) that I've chosen to share. Some of the time full source is included, sometimes not. Most things offered in object-only form are located on my downloads page instead.

That's a reflection of the dual-market nature of this outlet (web site). In some cases I'm trying to assist other programmers, while in others I'm just trying to provide some small but hopefully useful tool to Windows users.

I'm working on moving a lot more of my VB stuff to the site.  Right now you will find a lot more VBScript though.

Some simple concepts

Simple Console I/O in Visual Basic is a brief discussion with links to helper source.  It talks about what a console application is and some of the things you need to have in one to be successful.

Using a Visual Basic Collection as a General-Purpose Queue is a discussion with sample source code. This is a bare-bones idea you might use as is, or you might improve on it by using Scripting.Dictionary or in other ways.

Visual Basic Guestbook CGI (VBGB) is a brief description and sample program showing how you can use VB 6.0 to create real web applications using Visual Basic.  No ASP required, and generic Windows web servers are supported as well because these are Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs created without any add-ins or 3rd party libraries, etc.
