Most of these FAQ's are from posts to the VB Forums section of this site. In some cases the code has been cleaned up, or multiple posts combined, to improve clarity. That does not mean that any answers are complete. The forums get hundreds of questions each day. This code is often simplified, untested, or might not be the best or only solution to a problem. With the help of some volunteers, and as time allows, we try to save what seem to be interesting posts. The sheer number of posts makes it difficult for me to verify each item. Should you find any horrible mistakes and want to send a corrected FAQ, feel free. If you don't understand a FAQ and need help, ask on the VB Forums section. Again, the large number of visitors and my own lack of experience makes it impossible for me to handle these personally.

We do not warranty any code, samples, or FAQ's. Nor do we accept any responsibilty for the accuracy or correctness of any item on this site. Additional information regarding the contents of this site, its purpose and usage can be found by following the Copyright & Disclaimer link below.
