[visualbasic-l] 64-bit file ptrs in VB

Question from allan_mee on Apr 30 at 4:31 AM Hi I'm in the middle of wrting a hex editor. I have to work with 16mb Windows on large files to display the data in hex in a multiline textbox. That's not an issue. My issue is that the file ptrs I've met in vb so far are only integer - but some of the file sizes I'm working with have file sizes that are too large for an integer type. I really need a 64-bit long ptr to properly seek, read and write anywhere in a massive file. I'm currently developing the hex editor in vb.net.
