Bing Search API Azure Marketplace samples

Question

I was looking for simple sample code for implementing web search on my vb.net application using Bing’s API. I cannot find anything interesting.

What have you tried? What is your task? Please define "anything interesting". Is [this](http://www.bing.com/developers/s/APIBasics.html) not clear enough? — oleksii, Jul 07 '12 at 08:59
You are right, but the link Giuseppe provided me makes clear what I meant by "interesting". — Gino Strato, Jul 09 '12 at 07:14

I've used few lines of code provided on this page: API code I think to understand what you mean when you write "interesting": minimal and easy to understand.
If so, there you will find what you need. There is also c# code.
