👋 Welcome!

We’re using Discussions to discuss... things... about VBCorLib 😄. Feel free to ask questions or share ideas!

As for me, I started this project way back in 2004. I had been working with .NET for some time and I still had to deal with VB6 projects. However, as I was working in VB6 code I would miss using classes that provided much functionality. So for a fun exercise I decided to see if I could replicate some of the classes from .NET that I could utilize in the VB6 projects. It snowballed from there.

I don't work in VB6 anymore, but I have from time-to-time updated this project and its sister project SimplyVBUnit.

So, I maintain this project and sometimes I have spurts of inspiration to improve the library. I do it more for relaxation now. It's just something I can look at and tinker with. So with that, enjoy!

I was perplexed when I went to the old forum and found that I couldn't create any new thread. Luckily, I found your message that Old forum has been locked and discussions can continue here.

I wanted to try your BigInteger Class.
The only example I could find was the small snippet under Modulus which goes like this.
[Dim b As BigInteger Set b = BInt(100) Set b = b.Modulus(BInt(40)) Debug.Print b.ToString ]
But, when it is executed, I get "Compile Error - Sub or Function not defined" about BInt(100)
What am I supposed to do?

Problem with Corlib.CHM
I downloaded it from
http://www.kellyethridge.com/vbcorlib/doc/CorLib.chm
While all the topics are there, the details are missing.
Is the file corrupted?
Can you please check and upload the correct file?
Is it a replica of http://www.kellyethridge.com/vbcorlib/doc/CorLib.html ?

The documentation for BigInteger is indeed extremely lacking and what there is is outdated. Unfortunately documentation is a hard thing to keep updated.

The BInt function no longer exists. It has been replaced with CBigInt. It was renamed to align more with the VB conversion method names like CLng. I may add a shortened version CBInt in the next release.

Thank you very much.
I tried this and it works.
Dim A As BigInteger Set A = CBigInt(Text1.Text) Dim B As BigInteger Set B = CBigInt(Text2.Text) Set A = A.Modulus(B) Text3.Text = A.ToString
Is this the correct way to assign a value ?
