I have definately seen someone from Microsoft do it on a site such as
gotdotnet, or even msdn, unfortunately I do not have that link.

I do have a link for the exact thing in c#, been

This is really nice code, and shouldnt be too hard to convert, if the
one in vb.net shows up, ill be sure to post :P

That did the trick ! I didn't even have to convert it to vb.net, just
compiled a DLL and included it in my vb.net project. Many thanks to you,
it worked like a charm.
