Looking for describe samples

I'm a newbie and using the vb.net (Soap calls) samples to get data in salesforce.

I can login and do searches on accounts, contacts, and opportunities.  Now I need to get fields data.

Do I start with a describe function? I do a  call below, but need to know how to parse the response.

sForce.describe("account")

Then I need to query for fields data. 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi John,

Check out the samples in the resource center.  There is one called "data model viewer" that exercises the describe call extensively.

I missed that sample.

Thanks
