"Implementing file compression and encryption in VB6 using the Microsoft .NET Framework"

Implementing file compression and encryption in VB6 using the Microsoft .NET Framework

"In this two-part article series, you’ll see how you can easily add encryption and data compression (ZIP) capabilities to existing VB6 applications using the .NET Framework. ..."

I don't know about you, but call .Net from VB6 just feels weird.

Given the right problem to solve, and I had little choice, I'd do it but still paying the price for both runtimes seems a little overboard.

I'd much rather just rewrite the app in VB.Net ;)
[... Yeah, I know... sometimes we don't have that choice]

Anyway, it's an interesting enough thought that I wanted to capture it here.
