This example shows how to use the ZLib Inflate & Deflate function in VB6. This is example illustrates how to decode a PDF file to extract the plain text. This is similar to the cpp article "http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/ExtractPDFText.aspx" but this project does not remove any internal PDF text. i leave processing up to you. I might update this project later....

Microsoft .NET provides several ways to think of your code as more than just a bunch of disconnected lines. As a Visual Basic programmer, you're already familiar with the concept of a class, a section of code that defines an object and its behavior. But two of the higher-level groupings may be unfamiliar to you: 1.An assembly provides a fundamental unit of physical code grouping. 2.A namespace provides a fundamental unit of logical code grouping. As you'll see in this document, you can u...

I faced this issue today. I wanted to call a function written in C# from my VB.NET code, but I found out that the coder of the library had not followed Microsoft guidelines for interoperability and had used same name for two functions differing only by case having the same signature. I didn't have access to the C# code, so was helpless as VB.NET does not allow me to use any of these functions....

I have been developing shrinkwrapped software products for most of my professional career. Therefore, I have an abiding respect for internationalization and localization. In fact, it is something of a running joke to warn new developers who join not to kick me off on the subject. Of course, they will hear from me soon enough....
Shrinkwrapped products can end up in a bewildering set of environments and countries. Simply saying that your product will only run on {insert OS} with {insert la...

An assembly is the primary building block of a .NET Framework application. It is a collection of functionality that is built, versioned, and deployed as a single implementation unit (as one or more files). All managed types and resources are marked either as accessible only within their implementation unit or as accessible by code outside that unit. There really isn’t VB6 equivalent of an assembly but VB6 exe/dll comes closer to the concept of Assembly but again Assembly can be made of multiple ...

This month's installment of Basic Instincts will begin a multi-part series focused on working with assemblies. There is quite a bit you need to know about how assemblies are built, deployed, and versioned. This month I will address several essential details about how to build an assembly with the exact name you want. In subsequent months, I'll discuss your options for deploying assemblies on a production machine and revising assemblies that have already been put into production....

Today's topic will be discussing again the assemblies, but this time I will be giving you an idea of how multiple or (in other words what might be also called as) sub namespace assemblies are implemented. The .NET framework consists of many assemblies. In our ASP .NET projects we also use many different type of assemblies, depending upon the projects or the solutions requirements. Some of the assemblies have Namespaces which differ at a certain level, for example; you would have included the Sys...

The Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) provides several ways to sign an assembly with a strong name: * Using the Assembly Linker (Al.exe) provided by the Windows SDK. * Using assembly attributes to insert the strong name information in your code. You can use either the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute or the AssemblyKeyNameAttribute, depending on where the key file to be used is located....

Assemblies are the new way components and executables are packaged in the .NET Framework. The EXEs and DLLs created by VB.NET are assemblies. Assemblies contain both IL code and metadata. Metadata describes the types an assembly exposes, the assembly's dependencies, and the assembly's versioning information. The CLR uses an assembly's metadata to ensure that its methods are called in a type-safe manner and that an assembly runs against its proper resources....

By default, all of the assemblies included in a ClickOnce application are downloaded when the application is first run. You may, however, have parts of your application that are used by a small set of your users. In this case, you want to download an assembly only when you create one of its types. The following walkthrough demonstrates how to mark certain assemblies in your application as "optional", and how to download them using classes in the System.Deployment.Application namespace when the c...

Creating accessible Web pages allows you to reach as many customers as possible. People with disabilities are not the only users that appreciate accessible pages. Users with slow connections or text-only browsers also rely on accessibility options. Accessible design allows automation tools such as search engines to search, index, and manipulate the information on your pages. Finally, future telecommunications laws may require information distributed over the Internet to be accessible in the same...

The reflection-only load context allows you to examine assemblies compiled for other platforms or for other versions of the .NET Framework. Code loaded into this context can only be examined; it cannot be executed. This means that objects cannot be created, because constructors cannot be executed. Because the code cannot be executed, dependencies are not automatically loaded. If you need to examine them, you must load them yourself....

Shekar's article is a brief introduction into the world of Assemblies, using VB.Net, and their core security features.
This article discusses how to build assemblies and secure them from being tampered with. Every assembly built using the .NET compiler has a four-part name consisting of the following elements:
1. Friendly name 2. Version number 3. Culture setting 4. Public key or public key token...
