Today's Visual Studio extension is kind of simple, and the source isn't currently available, but it's one of those that can really have you some time (and hair)... Can Bilgin, building on the work of Link Removed, has released a Visual Studio 2015 extension that makes it click-easy to convert...

My name is Greg and I learned programing using Basic and you know what, I'm damn proud of it! :) Seems like Basic has always been a favorite whipping boy, yet in my mind, if it helps one person see beyond the keyboard and screen, to help them see that they are not application captives, that...

Probably one of the most advanced games I've tried recreating. I don't make a lot of games, but the logic here on a matrix was a little convoluted through the development stages. What I mean by fully integrated logic is that the control itself does absolutely everything for you. You can...

Here's a cool module I created a while ago. I got the idea with some cool fading effects... Maybe you'll find use for this too :) If you want something fancy, try this Module I came up with: Imports System.Threading Module FormSwitcher <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _...
