Working with Data in ASP.NET 2.0 - Debugging Stored Procedures
Visual Studio provides a rich debugging experience. With a few keystrokes or clicks of the mouse, it’s possible to use breakpoints to stop execution of a program and examine its state and control flow. Along with debugging application code, Visual Studio offers support for debugging stored procedures from within SQL Server. Just like breakpoints can be set within the code of an ASP.NET codebehind class or Business Logic Layer class, so too can they be placed within stored procedures.

VISUAL BASIC REVERSED - A decompiling approach
Frameworks are getting more and more popular today, Visual Basic is one of them. Personally i hate frameworks, and also most reversers do. So, why this tutorial? We can consider both the light and the dark side of the problem: frameworks usually put a lot of code in the compiled programs, so it becomes hard to find the way among all that jungle. But they also use sets of pre-built objects, so theese objects are always the same and can be recognized, helping the reverser to understand the code itself. In a VB PE you have a lot of information inside the exe, so you can easily extract all the information you need about all components of the program.

Vsual Basic 2005 Threading
Threading is, from your application’s point of view, a way of running various different pieces of code at the same time. Threading is also one of the more complex subjects examined in this book. That’s not because it’s difficult to use threading in your programs-as you’ll see, Visual Basic 2005 makes it absurdly easy-but because it’s difficult to use threading correctly. If you stick to the rules, keep your use of threads simple, or rely on the new all-in-one BackgroundWorker component, you’ll be fine. If, however, you embark on a wild flight of multithreaded programming, you will probably commit one of the cardinal sins of threading, and wind up in a great deal of trouble. Many excellent developers have argued that the programming community has repeatedly become overexcited about threading in the past, and has misused it, creating endless headaches
