Visual Basic 6: piccolo grande linguaggio

Ho tra le mani un testo su Visual Basic 6, una guida completa. Si chiama “Programmare Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0” – Sviluppo rapido di applicazioni a 32 bit e programmazione a oggetti, con tanto di CD-ROM contenente oltre 2MB di codice di esempio. Un libro tascabile, se per tasca intendi una valigia, di circa 1100 pagine.

Questo linguaggio è stato ufficialmente abbandonato l’8 aprile 2008,…

We need 4 things: Working definition of food, food transparency, ability to regulate & personal food policy.

Kinda looks like Jeffrey Tambor from here.

This is another highly technical post, so I apologise to those readers with no interest in programming.

This week I have continued the ghastly process of migrating the 27,000 lines of code that make up QuickLatin from Visual Basic 6 to VB.Net 2008.

I found that the “Upgrade Wizard” for VB6 was no longer included in versions of Visual Studio later than 2008.  So I don’t really get a choice on…

I’ve been continuing to work on QuickLatin.  The conversion from VB6 to VB.Net is horrible, but I am making real progress.

The key to it is to change the VB6 project, so that it will convert better.  So for instance I have various places at which I make a raw Win32 API call, because VB6 just doesn’t do something.  These must mostly go.  I replace them with slower equivalents using mainstream VB6…

Baked Falafel with Tahini Sauce (8 servings, 45 min+soak) 

The baking makes lighter falafel, and they're nearly as crunchy as deep-fried. Plus, the whole operation is a little easier. This makes a big batch, which is fine, since you can refrigerate the leftovers for several days, or freeze them for a couple of months. To reheat, wrap them in foil and bake at 350 until they’re hot throughout, 15 to 30 minutes depending on whether they were frozen.

INGREDIENTS

1 3 ⁄ 4 cups dried chickpeas 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 small onion, quartered 1 tablespoon cumin Scant teaspoon cayenne, or to taste 1 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro 1 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 ⁄ 2 cup tahini

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with water by 3 or 4 inches—the beans will triple in volume as they soak. Soak for 12 to 24 hours, checking once or twice to see if you need to add more water to keep the beans submerged. (If the soaking time is inconvenient for you, just leave them in the water until they’re ready; you should be able to break them apart between your fingers.)

2. Heat the oven to 375°F. Drain the chickpeas and transfer them to a food processor with the garlic, onion, cumin, cayenne, herb, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, baking soda, and lemon juice. Pulse until everything is minced but not pureed, stopping the machine and scraping down the sides if necessary; add water tablespoon by tablespoons if necessary to allow the machine to do its work, but keep the mixture as dry as possible. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne as needed.

3. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Roll the bean mixture into 20 balls, about 1 1 ⁄ 2-inch each, then flatten them into thick patties. Put the falafel on the prepared pan and brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Bake until golden all over, 10 to 15 minutes on each side.

4.  Meanwhile, whisk the tahini and remaining salt with 1 ⁄ 2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve the falafel drizzled with the sauce.

Saving values to registry in VB6

Visual Basic simplyfies the way you can store and retrieve values. Usually you can place value in configuration files with easy code. If you want to go more advanced , can keep them at Windows Registry, were the OS keep track of its ihabitants.

Visual Basic 6 allows you store and retrieve values by using SaveSetting and GetSettings methods

Call SaveSetting("MyApp", "Software", "Key",…
