Hi all ProFoxers,
Just to let you know that X# public V2.07 was released last night. It includes much more VFP language syntax support.
The next release is promised to have support for VFP class declaration syntax.
Hope this is of interest to some.
Greetings from the .NET world of XBase

Nice
Have to say being able to write VFP code in Visual Studio is very strange but very impressive.

Tell me more: what have you tried, what works, what doesn't. what's familiar? What's alien?
Don't have time to mess with it now, but when it is fully cooked, I hope it's a viable migration path for some clients.

Keep in mind this is still very early days, but will try to give some examples:
local i for i = 1 to 10 ? i if i < 5 ? "Less than 5" elseif i = 5 ? "Equals 5" else ? "Greater than 5" endif do case case i < 5 ? "Less than 5" otherwise ? " >= 5" end case // Here is a new one... switch i case 1 ? "Equal 1" case 2 case 3 ? "2 or 3" otherwise ? "Not 1, 2 or 3" end switch endfor
Other VFP specifics like TEXT/ENDTEXT, WITH...ENDWITH are already available. Most XBase commands are implemented and work in the other dialects, but might need some tweaking in the VFP syntax.
What is currently not working is DBC, VFP class declaration syntax (planned for next release) and the UI designers. They are all high priority though and should get a lot of attention now that the X# runtime is 99.999999% complete.
HTH,

I assume you have sorted your VFP Console App issue as you have posted on the X# forum?
Off topic, but have you tried XIDE as well?

No, it still doesn't like 'endfor' for some reason!
I will look at XIDE.
