From the archive http://EmpowermentZone.com/vblbc_fruit.zipThis fruit basket is written in Visual Basic 10 (which was released in April, 2010). It uses the Homer.NET library, distributed with the Homer application framework, HomerApp, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/appsetup.exe or .zip for a manual install.Five Homer.NET assemblies, matching Homer*.dll, need to be included in the same directory as the executable, vblbc_fruit.exe. The batch file, compile.bat, builds the executable using the Visual Basic command-line compiler, vbc.exe, based on the source code, vblbc_fruit.vb.
A compiler response file, Homer.rsp, sets most compiler parameters. This response file can also be used to compile VB programs within the EdSharp editor, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exeTo do this, set the CompileCommand setting in the EdSharp Configuration Options dialog to the following string:
vbc.exe @Homer.rsp "%Source%" 2>&1 The commented source code is also pasted below.
