Thanks Manas, I saw this but this is all in C. I am looking for VB.NET solution.

Amajd,

You should understand that people will not answer too many questions in VB.NET along. If you do .NET development and want to use good help and code samples, you just have to understand at least some C#.

Also, you should understand that you can use C# project directly in your solution if the form of class library -- there is no language boundaries in .NET.

Finally, the character of your Question does not assume you need to use ready-to-use code samples. It's more than enough to get just names of the types and members, go to appropriate MSDN/Help pages and write your code by yourself.

I think you already got all you could get from CodeProject on the subject. I suggest you just use it and formally accept this Answer.

Thank you for understanding.

Good. And OP just got my direction to formally accept this Answer and stop complaining it's not in VB.NET... :-)
