  2. Re: [RESOLVED] Store object to database fields: XML or JSON?

    It's too bad the IDE messes with bracketed string literal casing too. a future VB7 would do well to just leave bracket and ! casing alone.

    @wqweto do the line numbers correlate to the actual line numbers in the file? 'cause that would be slick.

    Also would oJson!path!to!array work with a default property?
  5. Re: Trying to Figure Out How to Communicate with a C DLL

    yes but he's showing a WINAPI/STDCALL calling convention on the C function... although he's got it spelled with an odd case, maybe typo?
  6. Re: Trying to Figure Out How to Communicate with a C DLL

    Trick already caught the wrong types being used. But you should also be aware of VB's automatic
    Unicode<-->ANSI conversions when using string parameters.
  7. Re: how to reference a UDT variable instead of creating a new copy?

    @Trick That's my go-to method. Haven't you illustrated modifying a ref parameter's address (on the stack) in previous threads?
    (just make sure the assume no-aliasing opt is off)
  8. Re: Trying to Figure Out How to Communicate with a C DLL

    You might want to start by posting some C code and the VB code that is calling it. As already pointed out - the most obvious issues are calling convention, and the VB declaration.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    ah the old crash at shutdown of a manifested comctl app. you need to load shell32.dll prior to comctl32.dll.

    are you using non-VBCCR controls on the form?

    you can start by minimizing all the conversions to/from unicode / byte arrays. Try and do all your operations in a single domain.

    NOTE: of course a hash is only faster if you pre-compute the hash for the existing file.

    Returning Arrays from functions was new to VB6. Beware though - MS kind of hacked it in, and wasn't fully tested before it made it to release - so it can be quite buggy in edge cases. Of course MS...

    now that's clever.

    yeah... I came from Oracle too, and thought MySQL was great. MSSQL however... well I use it everyday and I still hate it.
