Picturebox drains resources.

Compatibility:VB3 VB4 VB5

A picturebox with the appearance property set to 0 - Flat loses memory ever time the form is unloaded. This does not occur when the appearance property is set to 1 - 3D.

To fix, set the appearance property to 1-3d or use a different container, such as image control, frame, or usercontrol.

Books online search yields incorrect results.

Compatibility:VB3 VB4 VB5

Books Online will not display the correct titles if the search string is typed in too slowly.

To fix, either

type as quickly as possible

or paste the search string into the search field.

Compatibility:VB3 VB4 VB5

It should be fixed if you get DevStudio service pack 1. However, the easier fix is simply to always start on tab 1.
