Scans VB6 projects for dead code
Edit By BS Editor: Visual Code Scan 6 was built to scan Visual Basic 6 projects for dead code, unused or undeclared variables, and functions with no return type or old style return declarations. It also extracts strings so they can be checked for spelling. All of the information can be viewed in reports or you can edit the code right in Visual Code Scan 6s own code editor.

A project can take anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour and a half or more to scan. On an AMD K6 II with 128 MB of RAM, a project with 25 project files and 10,000 lines of code will take a bout 4 minutes to scan. A project with 100 project files, and 30,000 lines of code will take about an hour and a half to scan.

Edit The Code

Double-click on any routine name, variable, or constant to bring that code up in the code window. The code is colored just like the VB edititor with the addition that problem code is highlighted as well. From here you can edit the code and save your changes.

The code editor has the usual cut, copy, paste, and select all. It also comes with a Find utility, and Indent, Outdent, and Comment. The last three work with a block of selected text to either shift the block of code left or right, or comment out a block of code.

Zip Up The Project

After you have opened and scanned a project you can chose to have Visual Code Scan 6 zip all project files before you begin to fix repairs. You also will have the option to zip up individual files prior to saving any changes youve made. you can free download Visual Code Scan 1.0.13 now.
