- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls... Unfortunately, those times have gone.

Old projects are to be translated to new environments, but it is not an easy…

- Easy Duplicate File Finder – highly efficient duplicate files removal — The good thing about today’s hard drives is their size. Having up to a terabyte of free disk space silently spinning in your PC case makes you forget about saving space and paying attention to copies of folder and files scattered across the drive. However, the abundance of copies may become quite confusing, especially if you try to keep your archive of program distributives more or less up to date. Finding…

- CRC .NET Control - a native .NET component for fast CRC calculation — Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) calculations are used by the majority of developers to validate the integrity of files and binary streams, which makes them an important part of applications working with multiple input and output files. Despite the great number of available CRC algorithms utilizing various initial polynomials, CRC32 is by far the most popular one. If you are a .NET programmer and want to use a CRC library…
