ASN.1 Compiler into Visual Basic

[bestbefore99]

Hello progs.

I have to complete a project which requires a specification for TAP3 Billing protocol available in ASN.1.
Is there any freeware (or shareware) code generation tool that can compile VBA (or VB) code directly?

Many Thanks

Massimo

I don't know of any freeware / shareware ... I guess Microsoft would not be too happy!

However, I'm still using Visual Basic Version 6 to create / compile stand-alone executables. You can still find the V6 'learning edition' e.g. on eBay for around 25 pounds Sterling.

Don't be put off by the title 'learning edition' - it's the full language, compiler, help system etc. The only bits you don't get are the advanced functions for creating large 'corporate' applications.

I hope that this will help.

Thanks Bob.

Actually we have at ERICSSON VB, what I meant is to have a tool that read the ASN.1 TAP 3 Specification and produces as output VB source code, or better VBA source code, that you can incorporate into a VBA Access Module, to avoid typing by hand a lot of Const or dimensioning a number of Variables.

Anyone aware of this? It should be very similar to an XML to Visual Basic converter, only accept ASN.1 syntax.
