VBSource and VBDest: Demonstrate DDE Communication Over a Network

The VBSource and VBDest sample applications demonstrate how applications can communicate over the network using Network Dynamic Data Exchange (Network DDE). These sample applications accompany the "Reach Out and Exchange: A Network DDE Overview," "Browsing for Network Servers in C and Visual Basic," and "Learning to Share: Network DDE Shares and Visual Basic" technical articles on the Microsoft(R) Developer Network CD.

VBSource and VBDest were built and tested under Microsoft Windows(TM) version 3.1 and Microsoft Visual Basic(TM) version 2.0.
