I really don't see the drive for having everything open source.

Let me highlight the important part:-

Yea, I get it. It's not future-proof while it's survival depends on a single individual. That may change one day perhaps.

That changes everything. If Bill Gates kicks the bucket tomorrow, there will still be plenty of people at Microsoft who can make sure VB6 runs on Windows 13. God forbit it, but if Olaf shuffles off his mortal coil, then RC6 is just dead. Who will fix it when it crashes applications on Windows 13 or Windows 26?

Treeview with NodeAdded/NodesRemoved events | BlinkLabel control | Calculate Permutations | Object Enums | ComboBox with centered items | .Net Internals article(not mine) | Wizard Control | Understanding Multi-Threading | Simple file compression | Demon Arena

Copy/move files using Windows Shell | I'm not wanted

C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

There's just no reason to use garbage like InputBox. - jmcilhinney

The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber
