You can access sample code in two ways:

• Browse the sample abstracts in this section. Each abstract contains a link to open or copy the sample's files.
• Browse the Visual Basic samples directory structure on the product CD or DVD. For the specific location of sample files for your version of Visual Basic .NET, see Locating Sample Files.

In the Visual Basic documentation, "sample" means a complete application, including project files, while "example" means a small block of code that demonstrates a single, limited programming task.
