** Version 2.3 ** Updated a few classes and made it more DEP compatible. Added the BigInteger class and fixed a few issues.
Fixed Wide Character API support on NT machines, along with a couple minor fixes. What's new with this version? Cryptography! In addition to the hundreds of existing useful classes implemented, now most of the cryptography classes in the DotNET core library (mscorlib.dll) have been implemented as well! By using all available standards, each supported cryptography class has been implemented to provide VB6 developers a diverse array of choices. Everything from two-way ciphers (eg. Rijndael, DES, 3DES, RC2) and hashes (eg. SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD5, RIPEMD160) to Message Authentication Code implementations (all of the hashes are supported). There are several more utility classes, such as Rfc2898DeriveBytes that generates keys based on text passwords using the RFC2898 published standard. All of these classes are compatible with DotNET produced data and vise-versa. There is too much to post it all in this window. If you have any questions, please post them at my website: http://www.kellyethridge.com/vbcorlib. I'll also be adding new tutorials to cover more ground of the new additions.

What can I say? This is one of the best VB projects on the Internet, certainly one of the best that I have ever seen. You're a maniac and I mean that as a total compliment! Thanks for sharing this incredible amount of hard work with the world. *****

Congratulations Kelly.
Youv'e done a fantastic job. The code speaks for it's self.
The VBCorlib library keeps getting better and better as it matures.
Vb6 meets .Net. Whatever next.
Kind regards
Gary

Great project Kelly! This is incredibly useful. Are there any plans to turn this into a type library? Over 3 MB is pretty large for a dll, it would nice to just include the classes that are used in a program.

Just have to say this is some amazing work ! It saves me so much from having to translate .NET code to VB 6. Thanks!

Hello Spector,
Thanks for your feedback. As for your type library question; it would be impossible to create a type library because type libraries can't represent the code within this dll. I understand that the dll is large for some people, however, there is not much I can do about that. Someone that is ambitious could try and extract only the functionality they need and place it in a new dll. But, I think that would be too much work. Most of the classes depend on other classes within the dll.
Again, thanks for your feedback and good luck with your projects.

3 MB is not that bad considering how large the real .NET framework is.

Good to see you are still updating this. I have said it before but this really is the most ambitious open source VB6 project I have seen - and its beautifully implemented. It deserves 10* the votes it has...

Just a note Kelly, I was able to compress the compiled dll down to about 1.1 MB using UPX. Now that's a lot more managable!

@Spector, UPX isn't the solution. Diskspace wise it might be good but memory wise the dll will consume more memory.
@Kelly: Great project. I especially like the encryption/decryption classes.

@Ivar: No, not according to UPX's homepage:
"Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks because of in-place decompression."
Amazing project, by the way. 5 stars from me! :)

I think you are amongst the most skilled (and dedicated) coders here.
Keep up the good work, you are fantastic, like Paul Caton (only "still alive" ^^. )

I wanted to give you 5 more balls, but I already voted on your last submission.
Even you (PSC-visitors) are not planning to use this, you should download it and take a look at it. It's beautiful clean written code, with lots of interesting techniques. If you can't learn anything from it, you will at least enjoy exploring it.

This looks great, but I'm having a problem compiling the DLL - "Can't find project or library" and it is pointing to "SafeArray1d".
Any help would be appreciated!

First, thanks to everyone who keeps commenting on this project. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Mark, there are two type libraries that are included with the project under the 'Type Libraries' folder. You need to register those. Or you can re-reference them in your project references and they will be registered for you.
