• How to properly encode "[" and "]" in queries using Apache HttpClient?

  - by Jason Nichols

  I've got a GET method that looks like the following: GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://host/path/?key=[\"item\",\"item\"]"); Such a path works just fine when typed directly into a browser, but the above line when run causes an IllegalArgumentException : Invalid URI. I've looked at using the URIUtils class, but without success. Is…

• Do you ever make a code change and just test rather than trying to fully understand the change you'v

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm working in a 12 year old code base which I have been the only developer on. There are times that I'll make a a very small change based on an intuition (or quantum leap in logic ;-). Usually I try to deconstruct that change and make sure I read thoroughly the code. However sometimes, (more and more these days) I just test and make sure…

  - by Clay Nichols

  Here's one for a firewall expert: If I have an ActiveX EXE (created in VB6) and use that for several other VB6 apps to access the internet, will I need to only get permission from the Firewall (if it blocks the access) for just the ActiveX EXE, or for each app?

• Are folks using the VB6 "Common Controls Replacement Project" controls? Any caveats or showstoppers?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm considering using the VB6 Common Controls Replacement Project controls and would like to see what other's experiences with them are. Specifically: What do you need to distribute with them? (I assume just the .OCX file) Do I need to register the .ocx file or just include in the app directory? Do these controls depend on any other…

• Any templates for MS Word for formatting source code (when writing psuedocode)?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm writing an interface spec in MS Word and it would be great if there were some sort of template or pluggin for Word (2003 here) that would make it all look a bit prettier. (I'm realizing how spoiled I am with even the archaic VB6 IDE).

• Any benefits of using Windows Communication Foundation/ Web Services vs. a simple .aspx page for s

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm working on a VB6 app that will do some very simple communication with a web server (passing value and getting back an anwer. Low bandwith and infrequent use). Someone suggested using WCF or Web Services. I'm wondering what the advantages are vs. just posting to an ASPX page like: …

• VB6 code for Reading/Writing Windows Registry values

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm looking for a good example of reading and writing to the Windows Registry using VB6. Yes, I know there are lots of mediocre examples. I spent an hour googling and testing. Some were incredibly complex, others had only some of the functions, and almost none of it had been vetted in…

  I accidentally deleted a major folder inside of the Tortoise-SVN Repro Browser. The working folder is unaffected. What is the recommended way to reverse that? Do I just Revert back to the previous version? Or do I need to do a Checkout to that previous version into a new folder and…

• Is there something special you need to install to enable the Examples in the VB6 help file?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've always assumed that the VB6 help was just deficient in that few (or no) examples were included. But it does have the link for Example in the help, it's just greyed out and not accessible. Then I thought "maybe there's just something extra in the MSDN that needs to be…

  - by Clay Nichols

  In tprevious versions of Virtual PC, the Host's CD/DVD drives just get assigned drive letters. Nice and neat. But in Windows Virtual PC (Win 7) the drives are all just available but without drive letters. I need to access the Host's CD drive using a drive letter.

  I'd like to run a script to do a SVN checkin automatically when exiting the VB6 IDE. Is there any easy way to do that from within the IDE? (I guess I could write a script that launches the vb6 ide, waits for it to exit, then runs the script, but I'm hoping for something…

• How to resize an image smoothly (with resampling) using Windows API calls?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I need to resize images and resample them so they don't end up all jagged (I think that's called aliasing). I found some code (sorry, lost the link) that does this in pure VB6 code but it's a bit slow (2-5 seconds) and I'm displaying pictures in real time so I need…

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've got a Registry class and there are a few Registry values that I want to access from within that Registry class. (There is a bit of a calculation with these values so I thought I'd just put all that code right in the Registry Class itself). So we might have…
