VB6 Data Environment File Parser
Description:
Program can parse VB6 Data Environment source files (.dsr) into more readable
text files. Main use of this app is for synchronizing changes between programmers
that work on same DE file and you need after merge changes. Original VB6 DE files
can't be compared because they store "Selects" in another file and also in binary
form. So this tool can help you generate files that can be easy compared. App can
also parse Form files (*.frm). It support text stored in Text, RichTextBox and
Label objects.
How it works:
Program scan both *.dsr and *.dsx files and create output *.dep file. Output file
has simple format for easy comparing. There is also option for inserting ID and
% position marks to output file. As you know VB6 doesn't sort Data Environment
tree, so if you have a lot of items it's problem to find right item in tree. For
this you can use % position information and just move with scrollbar to desired
% position and you search approach can be faster. Useful in case that DE contains
100+ items. Command line and Drag and Drop files is supported.
