Good Application Example

[Ivan Weiss]

This is nothing specific but really a general question for anyone. I
have started writing an app which some of you may have seen my questions
before because I have had tons since I am new to VB.NET (Not VB). I used
to code using books/articles/newgroups/and completed examples. I often
found the code in full blown apps to be the most useful for learning
purposes because there is a difference between a code snippet used in a
book for teaching and a real world application code example. It is a
business application using a database so an accounting or some business
type application would be best.

Do full blown examples or if not completed in progress open source
examples like this exist and does anyone know where I can get one?

On an old app I wrote I had the luxury of knowing a programmer who wrote
something similar and gave me his complete source code so I can learn
(not copy dont worry) and work with him on developing my app since he
was a friend of mine. It was the best learning experience of my life
but he still programs with VB6 and I am looking for something on the
..NET (VB) platform using ADO.NET

Any help is greatly appreciated as always!

There are a lot of full apps at Planetsourcecode.com as well as some very
very very robust examples at devx.com

And, if your really interested, check out the GotDotNet workspaces, in which
case you can find the source to a lot of tools most of us use (i.e.
VBCommenter)
