Save me, Mr. Smiley

[filburt1]

I got downright scared when reading, in Notepad, the contents of the EXE for PassProg. I could see copyright notices, control names, even the path to the VBP project on my hard drive! Eek!

I request that Mr. Smiley or his friends provide me with "information" on Fusion or another VB compiler.

Well I don't think it's so bad that all that information is in there. So what if someone can find out the control name?

The path to the vbp might be a little important, but even that's not so bad unless the security on your computer stinks (or someone actually gets to physically sit at it).

You can see encryption seeds and stuff, too.

[Tygur]

Oh, you put those in as constants or literals? No matter what compiler you use, for whatever language, those will show in the final exe.

[filburt1]

Still, could Mr. Smiley or his friends help?

[Tygur]

Who's Mr. Smiley? And what do you expect "[him] and his friends" to do?

[nabeels786]

thers another compiler from vb?

/me emerges from behind monitor

[Tygur]

No, not as far as I know. I think there is someone working on one, tho.

Clicking a emoticon usually yields in riches, if you get what I mean. And your probably don't.

Tho I do know you used to (still do?) use smileys to link to other forums when you feel tha someone should've posted their thread elsewhere.
