title: How do you deal with Visual Basic 6.0 frm and frx files in source control?
body: <p>This is always a pain, no matter what source control system I have used (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_SourceSafe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Visual SourceSafe</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CVS</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_ClearCase" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ClearCase</a>, etc.). The binary .frx files always cause a problem when merging Visual Basic forms.</p>
  <p>I know...I know...why are you using Visual Basic...because there are lots of legacy applications still written using it and although I hate to admit it, I actually like using it (<em>ducks tomatoes</em>).</p>
