Hi VFPers,
With the latest paid (FOX member) release of X# there are a couple of touch points regarding VFP that might be of interest to you. The public free opensource version is expected around 20 July, depending bugs found via user testing.
Announcement:
* FPT writing in the DBFCDX RDD, and also reading of FlexFile arrays stored in FPT files * Added support for the VFP Collations in the CDX driver * Added FieldGetBytes() and FieldPutBytes() to store binary data (encrypted passwords) to a DBF without having to worry about unwanted side effects of Ansi - Unicode translations. * Several changes in the SDK libraries. The biggest change is that both System Classes and RDD (Replaceable Database Driver) Classes are now compiled with a target platform AnyCPU, so they can be used in X64 apps. We have also removed some late bound code from these class libraries, so the code should perform somewhat faster.
XBase greetings,
Johan Nel FOX member : Friends of XSharp https://xsharp.info George, South Africa.
Looking forward to getting a look at the Open Source version.
Hi Alan,
Yes we are all excited. Yesterday one of our old VO friends (Nick Friend) has used the X# runtime to successfully bind to DBF from c# using the RDD, so things are heating up.
