Visual Basic Code Examples

One of the top requests we hear from the Visual Basic community is for more code examples. Microsoft is committed to making all of our technologies equally accessible from both VB & C#, as part of the C#/VB Co-Evolution strategy. In addition to product support, this also includes sample resources. Below is a list of code examples that have been made available for Visual Basic in recent months. Please try them out and spread the word! You can also find a list of code samples posted on the Visual Basic Developer Center.

See anything missing? Please file a request on the VB code wishlist, where we’re collecting suggestions for future VB code samples, and we’ll do our best to make it available!
