I am fairly new to working with programming so pardon my lack of knowledge,
but I was hoping someone could assist me with working on a project.  I am
trying to make a Windows application using Visual Basic 2005 Express, and am
wanting to have a menu bar with one of the drop downs being similar to that
of the "Edit" drop down in most any other Windows app. 
I am wanting to find the code to perform such functions as Cutting, Copying
and Pasting...  I found some, but it references a specific Textbox.  I would
like it so that whereever the person clicks they can cut, copy, and paste the
selected text. 

Also theres the Find function where you can find text on a page, where can I
find the code to do such a function?

Visual Basic 2005 Express? You're kiddin', right! Surely you're not tellin'
me that Billy Gate$ is using the words "Visual" and "Basic" in his new money
grabbin' monstrosity ;-)

Just kidding. What you're using is what is known as NET, and it really has
nothing whatsoever to do with standard Visual Basic (up to version 6), which
most of us here use. Have a look at the DotNet newsgroups and put your
question there.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vsnet.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vstudio.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vstudio.setup
news://msnews.microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
news://msnews.microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls

This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB 2005,
which has dropped .NET from its name) are off-topic here.

Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The
*.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.*
groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server:
msnews.microsoft.com.

<response type="generic" language="VB.Net">
This newsgroup is for users of Visual Basic version 6.0
and earlier and not the misleadingly named VB.Net
or VB 200x.  Solutions, and often even the questions,
for one platform will be meaningless in the other.
When VB.Net was released Microsoft created new newsgroups
devoted to the new platform so that neither group of
developers need wade through the clutter of unrelated
topics.  Look for newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or
"vsnet" in their name.  For the msnews.microsoft.com news
server try these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Visual Basic 2005 is actually VB.NET, not VB6, and questions about VB.NET
should be asked at one of these newsgroups:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

You'll want to post that question in a .Net group. They all contain "dotnet"
or "vsnet" in their names.
This and all other groups on the MS server that start with
"microsoft.public.vb" are for VB Classic (VB versions 1-6) and were in
existance long before any .Net products were released. While some of the
code looks the same, they are very different products and require a
different set of groups.

Try one of these:
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.general
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
