build 60 vb sdk? // Sdkdm mercuryJun 15, 2006, 2:42pm
Is a build 60 of the vb sdk due out any time soon? does anyone know? I
have build 59 from beta, and was hoping an updated version was coming out. DM grimbleJun 18, 2006, 10:46am

Read the words ... "How many people are still using this?".
I was going to elaborate on alternatives for anyone using it beyond VB6.0 but sod it - reactions like that say it all really. I guess you can just wait to see if it makes the light of day. [View Quote] tmgaresJun 18, 2006, 12:25pm
The reaction says aw will lose a lot of users........

Sorry Grimble, a bit out of line there, took my frustration out on
you.....BUT there are obviously ppl using other langauges than c++ to develope bots. There was a build 59 of the vb sdk so why not build 60? If i knew how to do it i would create a vbwrapper myself but i dont:( //TmgAres "Grimble" <grimble at chrisp68.free-online.co.uk> skrev i meddelandet news:449560d7 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > Read the words ...

No, I'm not having that ... don't you dare try and divert blame onto AW for
your petulence. At the risk of being contentious, its 2006 and VB6 (released in 1998!) is two generations behind the latest version of the language and anyone using it needs to consider how they move forward (making the transition to VB.NET or to another development language). If people are using .NET 1.1, there's very few reasons not to move to .NET 2.0 and if they're using .NET 2.0 already, there's no reason to be using a COM component to interface with the SDK.

The VB SDK (like all VB related) is exposed via COM interfaces, it moved
away from its old property style years ago, as far as I know no-one uses the old version. The COM SDK always fits better with .NET because .NET is basically just a high level COM system, if you have the ability to marshal the entire damned thing to the C API then you can. -- - Mark Randall http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk "We're Systems and Networks..."

..NET is only INTEROPERABLE with COM and there's a whole assembly dedicated
to it supporting it. Its just an unnecessary middleman in this case. The SDK interface can now be [Dllimport]ed directly into a .NET 2.0 assembly by specifying the correct marshalling attributes. [View Quote] dm mercuryJun 18, 2006, 7:47pm
Well I would like to upgrade to . NET, however I am still using 6.0 for my
main software. I use the COM SDK. Works just fine with 6.0. I wish I knew how to make one of these COM SDK things so I wouldn't be complaining. I know a few people do use it. AD&DRPG is a large world and depends on the software, and users are complaining to me about why the world isnt open, or the bot isnt up right now. Well I can't help them much right now, so hopefully something happens. DM [View Quote] |
