I compiled the exe with debug information, then disassembled with an old version of IDA pro 4.8 (newer versions can not load old pdb format)

seems like it would be way easier to download a copy of visual studio community for free
and learn to compile sqllite as a stdcall dll or write a stdcall shim to access it?

ended up doing a video demo on this user control, I pretty much cant live without it at this point.

Thanks Colin thats a very nice control. I will add it to my library and see if I can use some of it for this project :)

you could also make decisions based off of the compile time set in the pe header automatically set by most compilers
