    Anyone can fix this weather app source code so we can put it in the Code Bank?

    I found this weather app coded in VB6 somewhere, but it shows an error and I'm too lazy to deal with it
    If you can fix it, we can then put it in the Code Bank I guess.

    I couldn't add as an attachment so I uploaded to MediaFire:

    Virus:Win32/Sality.AT is a detection for a virus that spreads by infecting Windows executable files and by copying itself to removable and remote drives.
    It also terminates various security products, prevents certain Windows utilities from executing and attempts to download additional files from a predefined remote Web server.

    An overwhelming majority of AVs at VirusTotal detect the Weather.exe file as being infected by the Sality virus. The other binary file (CWL.dll) had only 1 detection.
    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
    Declare Sub CrashVB Lib "msvbvm60" (Optional DontPassMe As Any)

    If this is the line that is causing problems

    vb Code:
    1. Private Doc As DOMDocument

    You do not have a type called "DOMDocument" anywhere within the project.

    Omg guys I am so sorry. I did not know it contained a virus. I just downloaded the project, tested it and I was hoping if someone could fix it. I am using Webroot secure anywhere and it did not detect anything. I uploaded the whole folder on Mediafire without removing the exe file or anything else because maybe it could help you in some way. My intention was not to spread a virus or infect any of you and I am deeply sorry about this incident.

    You are right. There is no DOMDocument type. But the "doc" which represents the "DOMDocument" is used a lot in the project so I don't know, maybe sth is missing. Thanks anyway
