Hi

I will use a Random Access File in dotnet/csharp. The file is created
with Visual Basic 6 (VB6).

My Problem is to find out the corresponding Types I had to use in
dotnet - reading the VB6 binary values.

If there are no corresponding Types I will manually convert the VB6
binary values (e.g. BinaryFormatter...). Where can I find the
definition how VB6 write Types to a random acces file ?

Thank you
Peter
