MemoryStream \ VB6 --- .Net components

[dernyn]

can i send binary memory streams to vb6 controls(ie. picturebox) ?
can i use it with ADO for vb6 instead of ADO .net?

I'm trying to send a binary file to memory from a resource file or a database as it source and then send it to a vb control, like this
support.microsoft.com/kb/317701

so i guess i found my answer.

the picture box componet in .net is completely different than vb6.

it uses the system calls from mscorlib.dll
like
FromStream
ToStream

to read /write a file or a stream in bytes and load it into memory


...................................................................................................

Now... does any one knows how to implement :
StreamReader
StreamWriter
BinaryReader
BinaryWriter


into a custom control?

so you may ask...why vb6 and not just do it in .net

I dont want to be dependant of .net
The problem is that vb6 controls do not know how to handle ADO stream or memory streams....and i dont want to write to a file to then read the file..

Hello there,

Well, there would have been a way to convert a byte array to a picture in memory for you, but I found a bug in the VBCorLib code. So, I did a search and found someone else's code snippet that should do what you want.
