VBCorLib
The VBCorLib framework brings many of the powerful .NET classes to VB6.
VBCorLib is a Visual Basic 6 implementation of many classes found in the .NET framework. The classes within VBCorLib can be used nearly identically as the .NET counterpart. This allows for easy data sharing between a .NET application and VB6. The project is written primarily in Visual Basic 6.0, distributed under the MIT License license, first published in 2017. Key topics include: biginteger, collections, cryptography, encoding, encryption.
VBCorLib
Overview
VBCorLib is a Visual Basic 6 implementation of many classes found in the .NET framework. The classes
within VBCorLib can be used nearly identically as the .NET counterpart. This allows for easy data
sharing between a .NET application and VB6.
- Provides several collection types: ArrayList, Stack, Queue and Hashtable.
- Provides several encryption algorithms: Rijndael, RSA, TripleDES, DES.
- Provides many hashing algorithms: SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA516, RIPMED160, MD5.
- Sign and verify data using HMAC.
- Provides easy access to many encodings for text and file handling: UTF8, UTF7, UTF16, UTF32, and Windows supported encodings.
- Easy String, Array and Date manipulation with a variety of classes.
- Manipulate files with a variety of file handling classes.
- Handles files larger than 2 gigs.
- Provides a BigInteger to perform large calculations.
- Utilize signed 64-bit integers.
- Provides easy access to a console window.
- And much more...
