At present this project seems to create more negative feedback then it does positive. For 8 ? months I?ve been too blind to see it. When a project fails to complete its aim, it should be terminated. This project has been failing to do so ever since it?s short life was born here on Neowin. Its aim was to bring a fully functional user friendly client to the MSN server, one that had the looks, functionality and efficiency. Though as each day progresses, it seems more and more pitiful to program on such a futile project. At current It will never be more then just a shadow of what Microsoft already has already created. The struggle has been, fun, but ironically pointless it would seem. The old VB core will be destroyed, along with the theme. This will mean, back to stage one. This is because I think people are failing to see what the existence of the alpha was for. To ?demonstrate?. After programming this project so long in VB. It seems VB is having trouble cooping with everything, eating away at everyone?s resources and giving everyone runtime hell? I?ve decided to recode L-Messenger in C++.

Hmm, that?s a very old project. How did you know of it? I made that when I was 16.. It was highly unstable, consumed huge amounts of memory and was very inefficient. In fact I think that must be so old, that I am certain nobody has it anymore. Let alone know about it. Tell a lie, possibly one of my college mates may still have a binary of it. That?s only because he can?t be bothered to format his hard disk though.

Sorry i havnt kept you posted, but ive been rewriting the core for LSN. Its still in VB6, but with only a single runtime which Windows 2000 and Windows XP users already have on their system. Windows95 and 98 users of course are able fetch the runtime from Microsoft.

The MessengerDLL project ive been working on will provide a foundation to the new build. LSN2

I havnt given up yet ;) .

my question is: how were you able to use SSL in VB? :blink:

586069999[/snapback]

Simple really, just using the Windows API it has methods for Cryptography. I did make a library for it, as lots of people asked me similar questions lol. I?ve included it in this attachment. (Dont forget to register the DLL though).

You can use it like a socket as well, it supports the Connect and SendData method as well as the Data arrival event and SendClientFinish event. Or as a HTTP client, that is what the example does below. Though it has an advantage over the Windows based HTTP library, as iWILL NOTb> freeze your VB apps like the HTTP library does in Windows.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
