Hey does anybody know how MSN Messenger decides to make a number for emails you sign in on your msn messenger. like if you go to

"C:\Documents and Settings\David\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger"

Then you see a bunch of numbers, i know what mine is but does anybody know how it makes this number from an email?

*Note: Change the user after doc and sets to yours*

Try reading this: msn6 user id thingy

lol yeah i saw that..heres the source code if anybody wants it.

There is already plenty of decent source code (and much better and faster!) in the thread posted by Mike.

Also the code you posted is from Ginge. And that code is extremely slow and very long and unneccesairy and thus not recommended for use... Also the thread from where you got the code on msnfanatic also lists the same better and faster source code to do this in VB.

(and all this is already in detail explained in the thread posted by Mike)

In other words, read the entire thread(s) first before posting and don't cross post with things already in other threads to avoid confusing and spreading of "not-so-good" code.

And for those who's PCs aren't so fast? The C code wtbw produced is about as fast as it gets. And I do mean fast.

eh well..it has to be pretty slow. lol. and thats vb, i dont do C. hey there's another reason!

The good and decent VB code is also just "copy and paste", you don't even need to read all the mambo jambo...

This shows that you even didn't read beyond the post from Ginge... And even if your pc is fast, the code from Ginge still remains crappy and very slow... and thus all certainly not a reason to cross post this in another thread.

what didn't work?

And about what "faster" version are you talking about? (there are more then 1 "faster" routines posted there. Anyways, everything posted in that thread works perfectly.

If you're talking about my routines, the fastest there are and easiest to understand (as they are almost 1 to 1 copies of the original C++ routine) then it is strait forward and very easy Visual Basic, there is nothing difficult about it; they are even much easier to understand then all the other crappy VB routines out there...


Oh and btw, the code from Ginge (the one you added as an attachment in this thread) is also buggy and will return wrong values for certain emailaddresses. So, even more a reason to remove the attachment; the only bugfree VB routines are the ones I posted...

eh..shal helped me. works. lol...
