Hope this is of interest to some.
Today we have released a new installer for XSharp Bandol 2.4 to our FOX subscribers.
This build contains several fixes to issues reported by our customers and also support for most of the SQL..() functions for the FoxPro dialect.
The what's new document describing all the changes can be found here:

On Thursday April 23 at 16:00 Amsterdam time Robert will do a short online demo of some of the new features in this build.
You can follow this event online or with Microsoft Teams https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTk3NWE4NDgtNDgyNy00MjEyLWEzMTUtZTI0N2FmMjk3ZDRl%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2288fd6abf-4e09-480f-ad27-96babe15680b%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22124c4732-fcf0-4ff0-a468-0a6203d39883%22%2c%22IsBroadcastMeeting%22%3atrue%7d .

I think what would really help drive interest in this from the VFP community is a thorough start-to-finish example, like a To Do List or something, using VFP syntax and demonstrating how to work with DBF files.
It's extremely hard to figure out what you're supposed to be doing in XSharp if you're not from a Visual Objects or similar background.

I have forwarded to the X# devteam.
Maybe some of the VFP developers that are testing X# are more capable of doing such an exercise? Matt, Eric, etc...

I had started rewriting an existing application but got sidetracked with some paid work.
If it'd help to have a start to finish example that isn't very complex, I could probably work up some blog posts that do that. Tell me what you'd like to see. e.g. Native DBF access, ODBC, forms, reports, etc.

Thanks.
Well, I'm used to things like: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/first-web-api?view=as...
Personally I would be interested in it from within Visual Studio however if the native IDE is a better option then that's fine.
Really it would be something like a little to-do list, Visual Foxpro syntax, data in DBF files, using indexes etc.
I spent quite a while one day trying to figure out how to just open a DBF file with it and gave up. There is a lot of assumed knowledge.
