I have the com...
Is there a way to programmatically create a compressed folder in Windows? I can't see a way to do this using the FileSystemObject (although there is the 'Compressed' attribute).

A client wants me to do some maintenance work to a VB 6.0 application (migration to .NET is also in the pipeline), but he doesn't have the development tools because he received just the source code and running application from the original programmer, who is no longer available.

Guys, Does anyone know 1) how precise the vb6 Date date type is (by way of fractions of a second) and how to format it to show fractions of a second.

I am hoping to find a tool that would take all the files and generate some sort of UML diagram to show the basic flow of code to allow ...
I've had my first go at writing a DLL in Delphi. So far so good. By using a typelib I've been able to pass Widestrings to and from the DLL without difficulty. What's curious at the moment is that I'm using VB6 as the testbed, and every time I run a test within the IDE, the program runs and then the IDE process suddenly disappears from m...
