Interesting VB Stuff 

Have patience to answer these?

Welcome to Senthil's Page!
Happy to see you here. This page is to share some programming issues, ideas and information. Almost all are VB related, as I'm a VB programmer, so don't get wild if nothing is useful for you. 

I have the habit of collecting information like procedures, functions, methods or statements for which I spent considerable amount of time to make that work in my programs. Sometimes we break our heads to bring specific requirements in our programs, which may be small or even funny, but  lead to wonderful solutions if we give a thought. In this rapidly changing industry we can't explore our development environment to the full extend, before we finish one, the industry gets a new version. So the information I have collected here may be handy to any one who is in a hurry and doesn't want to spend much time on it. 

I have categorized the information to some extend by control-wise or object-wise, some common programming issues can be found under 'Generic'. I know the information here is very limited but I hope I can make it little wider in the long run. Thanks for visiting my page. I would appreciate if you could send me a feedback to improve this page.

Disclaimer:Most of the ideas or tips listed here are either from my friends or from knowledgeable resources. You are welcome to use these stuff with no hesitation, but I can't guarantee that the code work smoothly in your machine which depends on your version of VB and version of windows you have. You may need to make some changes to work properly.
