The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Upgrading a vb6 app using types containing arrays

Asked by lludden in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: vb.net

I have an old VB6/VBA application that we use to interface with a legacy application.  This application reads and writes structured files as its sole means of communication with other apps.  

An example of the code currently used to write the files is below.  The files have fixed byte length records.

Private Type INI_Record
    qty As Integer                 
    start(5) As Integer            
    End(5) As Integer             
    Cap1 As Integer       
    Cap2 As Integer          
    Reserved1 As Integer                
    desc1 As String * 6
End Type
 
Public Sub WriteFile(dataset(50) as INI_Record)
Dim i As Integer
    Open "C:\test.ini" For Random As #1 Len = Len(INI_Record(0))
    For i = 0 To 50
        Put #1, i + 1, dataset(i)
    Next i
    Close #1
End Sub
