hese 10 items are just a sample of what you can find in VB-2-the-Max's Tip Bank. This section currently comprises more than 350 items and keeps growing each week. (We update the site every Saturday). An important detail: we carefully test each tip and code routine that we upload, and you won't find any duplicates. VB-2-the-Max also has a huge index of more than 6,000 Microsoft Knowledge articles and 800 magazine articles, all of which can be searched via our revamped search engine.
To keep you up on all major site updates and get additional tips and code routines, subscribe to the weekly News-2-the-Max newsletter, where you can also read the VB.NET WATCHER column, dedicated to the forthcoming version of Visual Basic. (We also keep an archive of past newsletter issues.)
