One way to organise threads so that they co-operate without tripping over each other is to use a messaging mechanism to communicate between them. John Rivett-Carnac looks at one such implementation of internal application messaging. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:27:00 GMT John Rivett-Carnac Ian Elliot reveals another gem in the JavaScript collection, and how to use its prototype feature http://www.developerfusion.com/article/84521/prototypes/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/84521/prototypes/ Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:14:00 GMT Ian Elliot Wondered why Microsoft always seems to release different language features for each language?

Software users expect to work with a very responsive program that they don’t have to wait on, which is a very reasonable demand with the processor speeds that are currently available. Enter multithreading. This article shows you how. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5184/multithreading-in-vbnet/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5184/multithreading-in-vbnet/ Mon, 09 Jan 2006 22:32:00 GMT John Spano This article presents VB.NET code to create thumbnail images from a directory of Adobe Acrobat PDF documents using the .NET Framework. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5091/generate-thumbnail-images-from-pdf-documents-in-net/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5091/generate-thumbnail-images-from-pdf-documents-in-net/ Wed, 21 Dec 2005 15:12:00 GMT Jonathan Hodgson Most programmers are aware of a few number systems.

If you have to work in Classic ASP, why don't do it the right way? By using a similar framework not only your code will be more organized and efficient, but it will take you a fraction of the time to port to ASP.NET! http://www.developerfusion.com/article/4403/make-your-classic-asp-code-work-like-in-aspnet/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/4403/make-your-classic-asp-code-work-like-in-aspnet/ Sun, 15 Feb 2004 08:37:00 GMT Christian Calderon Designers are essential in creating professional controls with polished design time behaviour.

Moreover, even though this article may be slightly geared more towards C#, all important VB assessments or similarities are addressed and demonstrated. By the way, keep in mind C# is very case sensitive. Incidentally, don't be put off at the length of this article, a lot of it is simply repeated code examples for both languages. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/4341/the-quick-dirty-net-guide-to-cvb-oop/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/4341/the-quick-dirty-net-guide-to-cvb-oop/ Mon, 26 Jan 2004 12:16:00 GMT Dimitrios Markatos
