Is a build 60 of the vb sdk due out any time soon? does anyone know? I
have build 59 from beta, and was hoping an updated version was coming out.

How many people are still using this, isn't it a COM component?

Read the words ... "How many people are still using this?".

I was going to elaborate on alternatives for anyone using it beyond VB6.0
but sod it - reactions like that say it all really. I guess you can just
wait to see if it makes the light of day.

Sorry Grimble, a bit out of line there, took my frustration out on
you.....BUT there are obviously ppl using other langauges than c++ to
develope bots. There was a build 59 of the vb sdk so why not build 60? If i
knew how to do it i would create a vbwrapper myself but i dont:(

No, I'm not having that ... don't you dare try and divert blame onto AW for
your petulence.

At the risk of being contentious, its 2006 and VB6 (released in 1998!) is
two generations behind the latest version of the language and anyone using
it needs to consider how they move forward (making the transition to VB.NET
or to another development language). If people are using .NET 1.1, there's
very few reasons not to move to .NET 2.0 and if they're using .NET 2.0
already, there's no reason to be using a COM component to interface with the
SDK.

Happy waiting ...

[View Quote] The VB SDK (like all VB related) is exposed via COM interfaces, it moved
away from its old property style years ago, as far as I know no-one uses the
old version.

The COM SDK always fits better with .NET because .NET is basically just a
high level COM system, if you have the ability to marshal the entire damned
thing to the C API then you can.

..NET is only INTEROPERABLE with COM and there's a whole assembly dedicated
to it supporting it. Its just an unnecessary middleman in this case. The SDK
interface can now be [Dllimport]ed directly into a .NET 2.0 assembly by
specifying the correct marshalling attributes.

Well I would like to upgrade to . NET, however I am still using 6.0 for my
main software. I use the COM SDK. Works just fine with 6.0.

I wish I knew how to make one of these COM SDK things so I wouldn't be
complaining. I know a few people do use it. AD&DRPG is a large world and
depends on the software, and users are complaining to me about why the world
isnt open, or the bot isnt up right now. Well I can't help them much right
now, so hopefully something happens.
