Heya people,
Anyone had problems with (or even tried!) converting the vbOgg project files into a VB .net solution? I get a conversion error 
"The referenced component CommonDialog is missing a design time license."
Since I don't have a copy of VB6 and I don't want to download an illegal copy, can anyone help me out here? Possibly if you give me all the code that's in the vbOgg project files that'll help me 
Thanks!
Right.. well.. in the spirit of "I'm being paid to do this so I better at least try myself" I have gone and done it myself. I now have the Visual Basic .net project files doing what vbogg does.. basically. Oh, there's no pan.. but that's cos I don't need it so I didn't try it. Thanks for providing the opportunity to ask for help anyway hehe 
Sorry nobody got back to you on the 26th...you know how the holidays can be.
Glad you solved your problem, but I confess I'm a bit confused on the request for the VBOgg project code. All the source code is included in the download.
As for your VB.Net conversion, if you had to perform a specific trick to make it work, would you mind sharing that here? Others may run into the same issue.
I do have the source.. yes.. but it's in VB5 or VB6 format.. which is different to VB .net. When they converted to .net they axed a few things and added a few things and renamed a few things and made it difficult for everyone 
Turns out I am having problems still. I've got the following problems:
a) While I can open an ogg file and play the whole file, I don't have the ability to change the cooperativelevel (playing global or specific to the app). It seems to be the fact that you used DSSCL_EXCLUSIVE as your cooperative level and for some silly reason my setup doesn't like that. Whether it's .net or DirectSound 9.. I have no idea. So I'm rewriting parts of your vbogg dll to contain this:
pDS->SetCooperativeLevel( hWnd, DSSCL_PRIORITY); //DSSCL_EXCLUSIVE ); //DSSCL_NORMAL ); // DSSCL_PRIORITY );I've added "priority" there instead of "exclusive". I dunno why, but apparently exclusive doesn't exist with my DS install.
b) I can't change the volume while the file is playing. I haven't even tried to find out why and fix it yet, so yeah 
Anyways, once I've done the full conversion to .net I'll probably post a link to a zip of the project files. I just won't have the "global" or the "pan" options available since I have no reason to spend time on them (I'm not being paid for that! ).
Anyways, back to it..
Well, well, well... here's a novel idea. Whatever version of VB you used interprets "InitOgg Me.HWND, 1" as calling InitOgg with the last parameter, the global/local value as a "1" of type Long.
But in VB .net "InitOgg(Me.Handle.ToInt32, 1)" interprets the "1" at the end of type long but it ends up equalling "0" for some stupid reason. So every time I ran the program it automatically played in local mode, not global mode. Sigh!
Now to fix the volume slider bug...
And she's all done. Seems VB6 thinks that 32-bit signed data are "Long" types and VB .net thinks that 32-bit signed data are "Integer" types. So I converted all your code to be Integer types, not Long types. I've also put all the pan, global audio, etc stuff in as well so this .net implementation should be a complete replica of your VB6 one.
The ZIP with all of the project files, your original two .dll's and the built .net executable should be available here:

So there you have it, hopefully this helps you and anyone else that is crazy enough to use VB .net :>
That's great! We've avoided .NET like the plague here, but not everybody feels that way. Thanks for providing this to those people.
No problems
I've started using .net simply because it's gonna have better DirectX support and better application-database support which is primarily where my source of income will come from. But you can't go wrong with VB6.. I just wish I had a legit copy of it
