Attention All VB Gurus! Time to SPRING Into Action!

April fools out of the way, now let's find an April genius!
The name "April" is derived from the Latin verb "aperire", meaning "to open", as it is the season when trees, flowers AND MINDS start to open! And.. I can't wait to OPEN and read this month's community contributions!
(groan, tenuous link!)
Things are indeed heating up around TechNet. The Wiki has become a shining example of what the community has to offer, and talent is SPRINGING FORTH from all corners of our garden of knowledge. 
If you can find the time to enrich us with your latest revelations, or some fascinating facts, then not only will you build up a profile and name for yourself within the gaze of Microsoft's very own glitterati, but you will be adding pages to the most respected
source for Microsoft knowledge base articles. This could not only boost your career, but would benefit generations to come!
So don't be an April fool. Please realise the potential of this platform, realise where we are going, and join us in growing this community, learning more about you, and opening the minds of others!
All you have to do is add an article to TechNet Wiki from your own specialist field. Something that fits into one of the categories listed on the submissions page. Copy in your own blog posts, a forum solution, a white paper, or just something
you had to solve for your own day's work today.
Drop us some nifty knowledge, or superb snippets, and become MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY GURU OF THE MONTH!
This is an official Microsoft TechNet recognition, where people such as yourselves can truly get noticed!
HOW TO WIN
1) Please copy over your Microsoft technical solutions and revelations to
TechNet Wiki.
2) Add a link to it on
THIS WIKI COMPETITION PAGE (so we know you've contributed)
3) Every month, we will highlight your contributions, and select a "Guru of the Month" in each technology.
If you win, we will sing your praises in blogs and forums, similar to the
weekly contributor awards. Once "on our radar" and making your mark, you will probably be
interviewed for your greatness, and maybe eventually even invited into other inner TechNet/MSDN circles!
Winning this award in your favoured technology will help us learn the active members in each community.
Feel free to ask any questions below.

I plan on submitting a screensaver project this month but I am still working on the code. I think  star wars fans will like my article this month. I called it an Easter egg on codeproject but a star wars date is coming up I am sure people will relate
to once they see the Easter egg.

  • Attention All C# Gurus! Time to SPRING Into Action!

    April fools out of the way, now let's find an April genius!
    The name "April" is derived from the Latin verb "aperire", meaning "to open", as it is the season when trees, flowers AND MINDS start to open! And.. I can't wait to OPEN and read this month's community contributions!
    (groan, tenuous link!)
    Things are indeed heating up around TechNet. The Wiki has become a shining example of what the community has to offer, and talent is SPRINGING FORTH from all corners of our garden of knowledge. 
    If you can find the time to enrich us with your latest revelations, or some fascinating facts, then not only will you build up a profile and name for yourself within the gaze of Microsoft's very own glitterati, but you will be adding pages to the most respected
    source for Microsoft knowledge base articles. This could not only boost your career, but would benefit generations to come!
