    Hi All, Stuff got in the way yesterday (work related) so I couldn't finish the message I was posting about Bob's birthday, I found him and the site via a Google search for an accurate millisecond timer in VB6, bit left field but the standard timer only went to 0.5 of a second, the unit I was working on spewed data at 0.25 which made it a little unreliable (this was serial port related!). :bob: had the answer all was good delivered the project everyone happy!

        it has been soo long I am sure I don't remember. Probably something to do with C# and porting a VB application to C#. because that has to be the reason doesn't it?

          Interestingly enough, I found them the "physical" way. I was looking for tech companies close to where I lived at the time (Eglington and Don Mills/DVP area in Toronto), and they came up. I think they have moved to downtown Toronto since then.

            You know, I did not find CodeProject. In fact, CodeProject found me. A day, while I was on the way to Damascus... :-D

              About 15 years ago, when @chris-maunder teamed up with us at "LiDNUG" on linked-in to do a presentation on how he built code-project using DOT NET. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to the presentation, I thought it was on our YouTube page (youtube.com/@lidnug) but I can't seem to find it. We did loose a few of our presentations about 6 years ago, when someone managed to get control of our Google account temporarily, so we may have lost it then. I've also just spent 30 mins looking through the few Live Meeting recordings we had still saved on our server, and it's not among those, so I guess it's definitely lost :-(

                Was looking for some code to solve a problem, and a CP article popped up in the search.

                          I can't recall, but was surprised to look at my profile where it tells me I've been a member for 16 years! Where did it go...?
