Hey, Ty. I'm glad to have you on board, because I'm 61 & you need to take my place! I just tried to open an exe with VB Express 2005. It opens but just gives you nerdie stuff: no clue of the original code. You can try it yourself: the exe is buried under the project\bin\deb ug directory. The reason that it shows you so little is that it has been transformed into an intermediate language. You will have to have the original source to change it.

If you want to know more try to find the Wrox book Professional .NET Framework 2.0 by Joe Duffy at the library. He explains in his book that Managed Code, any high-level NET language like VB or C#, is compiled into an Assembly (Metadata plus an executable written in Intermediate Language) which is taken by the CLR (Common Language Runtime) and compiled into executable code through a process called just-in-time (JIT) compilation.

Just noticed that Jungle Creatures has a free trial of a VB decompiler (that is a tool that takes an exe and creates source code from it. ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompiler) Might be fun to try. Be sure to virus scan anything you download before installation: I known nothing about them. http://www.junglecreatures.com/DesktopDefault.aspx

I have two questions: (1) I just want to check whether a .txt file is empty or not (without opening it). Like I click on a command button then it should give message EMPTY if is empty and show message "NON EMPTY" if it is not empty. (2) What are the steps to open a notepad file (C:\XYZ\abc.txt) in a VB Text Box. Thanks

Hi, I copied a VS2005 sln and it's related files (just the aspx which is right beside it) from one m/c to another m/c into the exact same PHYSICAL DIR as well as the exact same VIRTUAL DIR and APP DIR. This doesn't work: - Double clicking on the sln to make VS.Net open it. (Basically, nothing happens.)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
