SmallBasicOpenEditionDll is part of the broader SmallBasic Open Edition project.
Check out wiki for more specific information.
The goal of this project is to develop an interpreter/compiler capable of translating code written in Microsoft SmallBasic into C#. Once translated, the C# code is compiled into an executable using a C# compiler.
SmallBasicOpenEditionDll.dll replicates the classes and methods of the original smallbasic.dll library included with Microsoft SmallBasic. This makes it easier for the interpreter to convert SmallBasic code into C#.
While achieving 100% compatibility is unlikely, I aim to get as close as possible.
Currently, SmallBasicOpenEditionDll.dll is fully functional for use in C# programs. However, it does not process SmallBasic code on its own—that will be handled by the interpreter, which is a separate project. Though there have already been successful proof-of-concept tests for the interpreter, it's still in a rather early, chaotic state. My current focus is on completing this library before shifting my attention to the interpreter and the necessary installation program.
When compiled, SmallBasicOpenEditionDll.dll includes all of its dependencies, creating a "single file" compilation.
Once I resolve the remaining minor bugs and improve the documentation, I will release the compiled version of the library. Until then, you can download the source code as a Visual Studio project from here.
If you download the source to compile it yourself, please check the paths in the .csproj file to ensure that all necessary files are correctly referenced on your machine.
