Here's where you'll find the solutions to the puzzles in Part I. Each solution includes not only the corrected code, but also an in-depth explanation of why the problem exists and how and why the correction works. Although I realize you may be tempted to jump straight to the solution, I encourage you to spend some time on the puzzle before checking the answer. You'll learn more that way, and the knowledge will stick better. |

These detailed tutorials cover subjects that relate to calling API functions from Visual Basic. Some of them are intended to fill in gaps that are often found in the education of Visual Basic programmers. Some of them are intended to offer examples that don't lend themselves to a simple puzzle/solution approach for advanced programmers. Some of them contain information or techniques for which I couldn't find a better place. |

The solutions obviously contain all of the information you need to solve the puzzles in this book. But since you're reading this book in the first place, you are probably well aware that you will run into many cases where a solution to your programming questions is not conveniently available in a book. You'll need to search through other resources to find the answers, and this book is empathetically not designed to be a reference that you can go to for questions relating to specific API functions. |
