First Code Publish - Text Marquee

Update: I've posted a VB.Net app that does the original scrolling effect mentioned below, and some others as well, to GitHub. Check it out!

I decided to publish my first bit of VB.Net code today. It's a program (with source) that makes a text marquee effect similar to the one found on the Music app on iOS. I decided to publish this code because every other piece of code for a text marquee effect was terrible.

Download 'Text Marquee' Project (The website I posted this to is now down. Will upload again sometime.)

The compiled program can be found in the project folder, in the "bin" sub directory, and finally in the "Release" sub directory.

Warning : The code, from my perspective, is a little lengthy. However, it looks pretty cool. I have put detail into the comments so you may see what each event does and how each line plays into the overall package.

Feel free to distribute this program, project, and its source files with anyone you would like. I hope you enjoy and find this code useful!

Have a great Friday, and a great weekend!
