Windows Sharepoint - Codes -> Pointing to Share the Knowledge

Hi Friends,
I have learned a some of sharepoint services programming techniques and i've written a combination of vb.net and c#.net both languages are similar to work. just c# have additional concept to learn than VB. So just work around and play around. I think it might be useful for u People. :-) If any Queries Mail me. i'll help u. :-)
Note :
For Beginers to run a console application in the context of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, they must be administrators on the computer where the script is executed. Make sure to add reference which wil be available once if u install sharepoint in your server, so u can insert in application.
How to do that ?

In Solution Explorer, right-click the References node, and then click Add Reference on the shortcut menu. On the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog box, select Windows SharePoint Services in the list of components, click Select, and then click OK.
On the Visual Studio .NET, File Menu -> New ->Project.
In the New Project dialog box, select Visual Basic Projects or Visual C# Projects in the Project Types box, depending on which language you prefer. In the Templates box, select Console Application. In the Location box, type the path to where to create the application, and then click OK.
And add namespaces in your application when ever you create a new console or asp.net application for sharepoint
