Hey @XingyuZhao-MSFT
I have tried contacting the author on his Email id found here
However It isn't working anymore.
I don't really know how to be able to contact him.
Any other alternative solutions/suggestions?

Hi @testcode-2745
Since links in the document were many years ago, and the content is no longer updated, you need to look for other similar documents or references.
What kind of documents are you looking for ? Are the links I provided helpful to the question ?

For the record, Microsoft archived (here) all MSDN Code Gallery Microsoft Samples but without any source which were all done in .zip files.

Sadly Microsoft offered no other options to replace Code Gallery.

Some of us when to Microsoft TechNet community using gallery section but that went away also while there are tons of code samples but VB is a minority in that group.



Best option is to move on, forget any articles from MSDN Code Gallery Microsoft Samples.
