Open Your VB Projects With a Clean Slate
If you're like me, you hate all the clutter of open form, class, and module windows when you open your VB projects in the IDE. Here's a simple workaround to let you start your project with a clean workspace.
Edit the accompanying VB Workspace file for your project (with notepad). It has the same name as your project file, but with a VBW file extension. Delete all the lines in this file and save it. Now make this file read-only. Whenever you save your project from then on it will not update this file since it is read only, and it will not complain.
A Simple IsAlphaNum Function:
Code:
Public Function IsAlphaNum(ByVal sString As String) As Boolean
If Not sString Like "*[!0-9A-Za-z]*" Then IsAlphaNum = True
End Function
