maybe when he said free, he meant free of development costs and when he said fun, he meant he'll sell it when no ones looking and retire on a brand new yacht with lots of playboy bunnies.
anyone wanna help me develop a free program ? It'll be fun.

Hate to say it, but we're working on a living ghost... We need Cougar to get devmax to release the code. Then, there are no more of these problems.
One of my other thoughts is, maybe this project is being kept closed and secretive because of copyright reasons? Releasing the source would mean that people would be able to reverse-engineer the whole IDE, considering the fact that VB's files are all text.
and what if devmax was just 'absent' ? :) :D
I was testing Thinstall.
It was working very good.
Maby interresting for the compiler in progress.
Demo is downloadable THinstall.com
Good luck with the compiler.

Reading a 3 page thread for hours only to find out this amazing project failed...
Is there anyway where we can find any early beta?
thanx
:wave:
maybe a good time to learn C# ? :)
This thread is running for about 3 years now. Back then I was very enthoussiastic about it. But now, I don't think VB6 will survive another 3 year... (imho).
But now since I learned C#, VB6 hasn't been launched on my PC anymore. And there are plenty of C# compilers. (Plenty for windows and even some for other OS). Developping forms in C# is just as easy as in VB6.;)
So true
Are you using the Borland IDE? apperently its far more visual than the M$ V C++ IDE... So im looking for a trial but the Borland site only offers the builders... or is that the 1 I need?
atleast developing 'proper' dll's will be far easier and the general opinion among some professionals I have noticed is that VB is for fakes/amateurs.... or atleast beginners who find C too hard....
the argument is ofcourse that it cuts development time...
On the other hand why would u allow a programmer to carry out calculations with strings and use undeclared variables....
:wave:

I'm using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE.
(Wich is just as easy to work with as VB6 was. C# has become really easy and I think that's mainly because the graphical programming interface has become more userfriendly.) I haven't used the Borland IDE yet. But I did use "SharpDevelop". SharpDevelop looks a lot like VS .NET 2003, but it has some annoying small problems and bugs.
I totally agree there ! It seems like people look down on VB programmers. On the other hand I feel, when programming graphical applications in VB6 you could save a lot of time compared to C++. But now that C# is around VB6 has become useless.Quote:

You can get the same result in C# in the same time you did it in VB6. The main difference: C# allows a lot of stuff you could never reach in VB6: multithreading, inheritance, ... .
Don't get me wrong I've been programming in VB6 over the last 4 years. And I loved it. But it's time to move on. :(
*greetings*
Really would love to see this project happening again. Devmax, are you developing this still? Where can we see a sample beta version or something?
Maybe you should take a look at www.realbasic.comQuote:

There are some pro's and con's though... (and nothing compared to .NET)
Yeah, but the assembly output of the VB compiler would give a faster output at lower file size.
Anyone know what happened to this project?
I got an email about this thread.. I check my email this morning, and its telling me about a thread I can't even remember subscribing to!
:eek:
chem
yeah me too. Might as well say it's dead. heh also it seems i was full of crap on what vb.net was going to be like. Similar syntax i said.
For a very good substitute, interested people may take a look at RadASM (http://www.radasm.com/) It's almost like VB for Assembly programming.
