Description.

This utility is for counting number of code lines in a Visual Studio Project. It returns the number of code lines and file names which are in the project folders. Actually, you can use this utility for any kind of text file to count the number of lines. This is VB Class file, so you can easily call it in any Web or Windows application. I programmed a simple web application, which shows the number of code line and file names in a web datagrid.

Do not forget to change.

Dim myDirectoryArray as string [].

This array contains the folder names in which my project files reside. Moreover, you can also increase the number of file types if you change Dim myFileArray as    String[].
