FR: VBA version #59

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I'm using this in an Excel workbook. I've converted the JavaScript version to a 
Windows Scripting Component (WSC), which I call from Excel macros and use the 
results to format cells.

This works, but our IT group is moving us to Windows 7, and now registering 
components requires admin access. Major PITA. Any other solution (XLL, etc.) 
would have the same problem.

So, I'd like to suggest a VBA version as a feature request. This would allow 
use within Word, Excel, and Access without the need for an external library. 
And of course anyone still using legacy ASP.

Converting from C# to VB.NET is easy (the one built into SharpDevelop IDE works 
well), but moving it back to VBA from there is the hurdle to get over.

If you port DMP (along with all the unit tests), I'll commit to maintaining it 
along with the rest of the language versions.

However I have no intention of creating a VBA version myself.
