Visual C++: Where can I find Visual C++ code samples?

Q: Where can I find Visual C++ code samples?

A:

• In older Visual C++ versions like 6.0, the code samples come with install CD and can be copied on demand.
• For newer versions (Visuall Studio 20xx), you can download them from the following sites:
  
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Sample Library
  • Visual C++ Samples and Related Documentation for Visual Studio 2010

• Where can I get the VC++ redistributable packages?

Meanwhile, Microsoft restructured the on-line sample repository.
So, if you click on above link for Visual Studio 2010 samples, you'll get a page showing the following message: "The Archive Gallery has been retired".
However, that's not a problem! It also shows a link to MSDN Developer Code Samples: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/. That's even better, you can find there hundreds of Visual C++ code samples, on your choice.
