    Things to know

    If you have a french version of VB installed (because you borrowed it from the school to (blank) then brought it back), don't expect to make DLLs easily.

    See, when you're using the french version of VB, boolean values convert to strings like so:
    false -> "faux"
    true -> "vrai"

    as opposed to the usual. They also convert back the same way. No problem, in the end, right? Wrong. When you compile the DLL, it's language switches to english. Any old data you have stored as a string (cause you're lazy) is instantly USELESS and crashes the program. So you have a program that works in the editor, but not when compiled.

    Way to go, VB, version french.
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    No, I don't live in Quebec. I just went to a french high school.

    This is even worse than that time I had a number that would CHANGE when I compiled the program.

    It was something like this:

    Const num as double = (high number)
    msgbox num

    In editor: output was num
    Compiled: output was num-2
