How to access VB samples

Question

I'm new to VB Express 2008 (but not new to VB).  I'd like to look at some of the samples, which I've tried to access from the Help menu.  I've downloaded a 9 MB file called VS 2008 RTM VBSamples.zip, which contains nearly 2000 files many of which have the same name (e.g., Application.Designer.vb  or  Form1.Designer.vb).  I can extract any of these files from the zip file, but how can I know which   .vb,  .proj, .sln,  etc files I want in order to see a full sample for, say, learning how to use   Try Catch   or for learning how to read a text file ?
Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

There should be separate directories in this zip file for the different projects. When you unzip, be sure to unzip the entire file hierarchy.

Hope this helps.
