Algorithms

With this article, I will try my best to assist you in protecting valuable information such as Passwords, account numbers and so on.

Cover a few of the better-known sorting algorithms with sample code for VB6.

Learn how to enable VB6 applications to use function pointers and how to embed native code without using external DLLs.

Dare to enter the world of approximate string matching with this introduction, tutorial, and Access 2000 database demo with a 99% precision/recall.

A 'How To' for creating a COM Big Integer Library that uses Visual C++ ATL Wizard and Wei Dai's Crypto++ Library.

Rotate images using geometry.

Implement Paul Kimmel's Radio pattern to separate internal messaging within an application. Along the way, you'll learn how to create a reusable custom application block for the same purpose.

Implementing "Search and Replace" functionality in your VB application is very easy. The straightforward and to-the-point algorithm that I developed for this will make it easier for you to understand it.

You can track the number of projects, files, and lines of code in any given solution implemented with VS.NET. Just invoke a built-in, lines-of-code counter in VS.NET and implement it as a macro that other teams can share.

Learn about a method of selecting a geometrical object which is described by its vertices. This article might be of use if you are creating 2D or 3D shape related software.

This article describes how VB 6 stores Bytes, Booleans, Integers, Longs, Singles, Doubles, Strings (Fixed- and Variable-Length), Currencys, Dates, Variants, Arrays and UDTs.

If you don't want the overhead or complexity of a government-standard encryption technique, there is a simple solution.

Use a transposition algorithm in Visual Basic. Using any text, the algorithm produces every permutation possible. (The article, demo project, and source code were updated.)

Generating all possible combinations of a string in Visual Basic.
