With regards to fomatting code snippets, you don't use both xcode and code tags. Use one or the other. If you use xcode then you need to provide the appropriate formatting option, which is VB, e.g.

[xcode=vb]your code here[/xcode]

That is the preferred option unless you want to add extra formatting, e.g. bold or colour.
