I’ve mentioned MSDN Code Gallery in the past but let me call it out once again. Microsoft maintains two sites for sharing content.
CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/)
Codeplex is intended to be the home for your open source code project. As such it sports a number of project level enhancements: a version control system (which supports Team System and Subversion), bug tracking and feature requests database, and a contributor management system.
This is not a good place for your code samples and whitepapers however. It’s overkill when you just want a public place to share some downloadable content.
MSDN CodeGallery (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ )
This is the place for sharing assets. It’s simple and convenient. I’ve used it to share code for some of my articles.
WPF SDK Samples
I’m pleased to see that Microsoft is using Code Gallery more frequently. The SDK team, for example, is beginning to put SDK samples there.

In past versions of our Visual Studio and .NET Framework documentation, you may have experienced frustration when you tried to access our WPF sample code.
No more. We’ve picked the best samples, hoisted them out of the docs, updated them for Visual Studio 2010, and uploaded them to Code Gallery: WPF Documentation Samples.
You’ll see example code for creating custom controls, 3D graphics, data binding, and lots of other stuff. Almost all samples have Visual Basic parity with C#. Go install Visual Studio Beta 2 and then check them out.
