Basics.bas Description

Basics.bas is a ready written Visual Basic Code that will allow you to create binary strings plus functions to check or set bits, to check or set bit fields and to check or set flags. Basics for VB is a set of binary string and bit manipulation functions for VB5 / VB6. There are also function to return the unsigned values of VB integer and long integers and functions to display byte, integer or long variables as a string of ones and zeros. "Basic is the language of choice for logical programmers." Why? - because it's logical - you can read a Basic listing and it makes sense! - Doesn't it? Well, usually. But when it comes to moving binary data between numeric variables and strings or bit manipulation its not so simple. Sure, it has a full set of bitwise operators, but unless you know your Hex numbers inside out, you're either going to need a good reference book or spend lots of time looking for example code on the Web. With Basics.bas added to your project, you can forget about bitwise operators, masks, hex numbers and get back to writing logical readable code. The demo is a compiled program which demonstrates some of the functions in Basics.bas. Although its primary purpose is, obviously, to help sell Basics.bas, it is also a useful program in its own right. You can enter a number, as signed, as unsigned, as hex or by setting bits or by setting flags. Whichever you enter, the other representations update - Including any designated bit field. It can, therefore, be a useful tool not only for debugging but also for teaching. Note: Basics.bas is for VB5 / VB6. There is at present no .NET version.
