I doubt that there will be many sites with VB 2005 samples, because VB 2005
has not yet been released to production and is not intended for productive
use.

WindowsForms.net has a lot of articles about the controls and
examples. They have really good pictures too! There are so many pictures,
they pretty much show you what 2005 will be if you don't have the beta! Just
go to windowsforms.net and click on the "Whidbey" tab along the top. I hope
this helps!

Hi Mike,

Here a a few ways to find them:

1. VS 2005 Developer Home Page: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/

2. Online Documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/default.aspx
(lots of How to articles but watch out, lots of bugs too).

3. Whidbey Newsgroup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/newsgroups

4. Use Google to search for 'Visual Basic 2005 examples' you will find lots
of sites with VB.NET 2005 examples and articles.

* Explicit control over event handler management

What do you mean by this? I thought I was familiar with the new
features of VS2005, but I'm not sure what you mean by this one.
