Does anyone have a WORKING example that displays a directory tree structure in a TreeView for VB .NET??

Is there any way to automatically generate corresponding resx files for string localization in .NET?
Using this answer, I created a sample localized app. My question is, is there some way to have Visual Studio automatically generated the strings.fr.resx file with the same strings (same names that is, with blank values), so someone who knows French can just fill them in, or do I actually have to manually create the resource for each lang...

Is there a standard date/time format that can be passed on a URL?
Looking at the DateTimeFormatInfo documentation, it appears that all the standard formats have colons in them, which makes passing them on a url unpleasant/impossible.

I'd like to fetch some files from a SharePoint site, however I do not want to use the web services as a) I want to be compatible with both 2007 and 2010 and b) I'm not sure if Web Services can give me all files on a site. SharePoint Designer can do that, and it seems to use FrontPage Server Extensions using _vti_bin/Author.dll. Also, I ...
How to locate a sequence of values (specifically, bytes) within a larger collection in .NET.
I need to parse the bytes from a file so that I only take the data after a certain sequence of bytes has been identified. For example, if the sequence is simply 0xFF (one byte), then I can use LINQ on the collection: byte[] allBytes = new byte[] {0x00, 0xFF, 0x01}; var importantBytes = allBytes.SkipWhile(byte b => b != 0xFF); // importa...
Reading EML files from Windows SMTP service. Any reason not to use StreamReader?
I'm going to be reading and parsing the EML files dropped by the Microsoft SMTP service. I am a newbie to using the various stream classes.
