I have a C++ dll that exposes some methods taking strings in their
argument list. The strings are passed as type char*. The dll is compiled
using Unicode strings.
Can I use this Dll with a VB6 client ?

I am seeing a problem in my code.  And I think I know the answer.  But want
to confirm.
I have a very complicated set of classes.  Classes within classes.  Classes
that hold other classes.

I am studying the N-tier architecture and will participate on my first
VB project using this concept. Beyond the three common layers
(Presentation, Business and Data) we have defined other logical layers
as an exception layer and a security layer. How can I decide which

Given some internal VB Unicode string values can I extract the
LCID and Character set?

With your opinion, do you perfer 1) or 2)?
I like 2) becasue it has one less "branching" but it may assign "c" twice.
1) have 2 branchings but it will only assign "c" once.
1)

I am using VB6 as the front end for an application I am writing, and I
have several (approx 20+) sattelite Dlls that the front end calls into.
Most of the DLLs are built with MCBS encoding, but two are built with
Unicode char encoding.

I need to display a list of items in a particular un-sorted order:
If I need to look for the description for id "259" for example, there is
nothing much I can do but to use linear search... looking for the word "259"
one by one in the array.  Correct?
