    Thumbs up Compile to P-Code and get Much Smaller files

    I have been compiling all of my files to p-code for ages now and put my program windvd tweaker all over the net and no problems. Why do you all still use the other option.

    you know VB3 decompliers? they decompile P-CODE, and Natvie code is not decomplible. so native code is much safer.

    Thanks for the info. You mean decompile to the code that you started out with. That could be dangerous but if you are compiling your own stuff or free programs I don't think it is much of a risk. The file size is alot smaller and the speed of compiling is 10X on my pc so I will always use P-Code.

    Do you know how to get a dvds region info from vb.

    P-Code may be smaller but it is also slower then Native code. Alot slower in some cases.

    if it's just a fre KB smaller than why the hell would you choose the worse one?

    MS made Native Code for a reason.

    My prog needs to save about 30 settings to the registry and load them also. This takes about 0.1 of a second on the crappest pcs so smaller code is a nice bonus when speed isnt a factor.

    I think I might use Native though because of the decompiling risk
