The name is familiar, and I can almost picture the guy. But, yeah, he worked at Microsoft. I believe he worked on a product other than FP when I worked in North Carolina, but he was definitely there. -- Mike Stewart On Tue, Apr 4, 2023 at 7:52 PM <profoxtech-request(a)leafe.com> wrote: > His name is John Ramminger.

Fun with .Net DLLs
by Richard Kaye 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

ProFoxers, I've started down the road of attempting to create a DLL in C# using VS2019. Here's the problem I'm trying to solve. I want to retrieve the current orientation value from a JPG. If it exists, I want to rotate the image to that value. Finally I want to set/delete the orientation tag. I found a lovely .Net code sample that describes the problem and appears to do exactly what I want. You can see the source here: <https://www.ryadel.com/en/change-image-orientation-iphone-andor-android-pho…> Now assuming this code works, the trick is how to get it into a DLL that I can call from VFP. I've created a Helper class project in VS; got it to build the DLL cleanly and that's where I start running into a brick wall. I used a white paper from Doug Hennig as a guideline on how to invoke from a PRG using wwDotNetBridge and InvokeStaticMethod. Sadly all I've been gotten from that call is a NULL. Then I tried to debug using VS and it tells me I can't debug a Helper DLL; I have to add an executable thing-a-ma-jig to the project. (As you can see my VS knowledge is a bit...lacking.) Tips, tricks and tutorial hints gratefully accepted. I'm happy to get more into actual code once I have enough of a foundation to actually discuss this intelligently. 😊 -- rk

HTTPS GET using Winsock
by Man-wai Chang 05 Apr '23

Are there free Visual Foxpro source codes that do HTTPS GET via Winsock? The following example does non-SSL HTTP GET: Win32API/sample_383.md at master · VFPX/Win32API · GitHub Winsock: retrieving Web pages using sockets (HTTP, port 80) Retrieved data is stored in a Memo field of a cursor https://github.com/VFPX/Win32API/blob/master/samples/sample_383.md -- .~.

PSA: GitHub's got a new RSA key, you'll need to update
by Ted Roche 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

If you try updating a github-based repository, you may get a dire warning about keys not matching, potential man-in-the-middle attack, someone may be watching you right now!!! Yeah, that's not it. "Out of an abundance of caution," says GitHub, they have reissued their keys as one or more may have been exposed publicly for a brief period. This isn't an abundance, this is a minimum good housekeeping after losing control of your keys. Read more and instructions to update any of your access to github here: https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key/

Error instantiating class when opening a form
by Man-wai Chang 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

I had a form without the class lib. Could I force open the form ignoring the class instantiation error? Other than opening the form.scx, delete those references and pack it ... :) -- .~.
