A while ago we announced that Advantage Database Server is End of Life.

However, we managed to acquire some stock of ADS 12 in the form of 5, 10, 15, 20, 50 and 100 user licenses. You can buy these from our webshop.

Unfortunately, upgrades or additional users are no longer available.

If you have an existing license that you would like to upgrade or add additional users to, please contact us by mail to robert@xsharp.eu 

We may be able to buy back your existing license and sell you a new license for one of the above quantities.

Our stock is not unlimited, so act now, or you will be too late.

Introduction.

In February 2026, we are organizing our fourth European conference, following successful events in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

With the help from one of our sponsors, we have found a great location in Potsdam, not far from Berlin.

We will present the current state of the X# development and show how to migrate your apps to XSharp. Furthermore, we will also discuss the internals of X# and how you can extend X#. Finally, we will discuss our future plans, and showcase some work in progress. 

This summit is structured to encourage open and facilitated face-to-face discussions and idea-sharing among all attendees. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, with scheduled lunch and snack breaks.

Location. The event will take place at the following hotel: Kongresshotel Potsdam Am Luftschiffhafen 1 D-14471 Potsdam Germany

 

Agenda.

Dear members of the X# community,

This year we celebrate the 10^th anniversary of X#, which has been very successful in providing a path for a lot of companies and developers to extend the life of their Visual Objects (VO) applications, by transitioning them to the .Net ecosystem. We are very proud that many of you have also developed entirely new applications in X#, some even joining us from other xBase dialects than VO! It has been a success so far, but now we need to think and prepare for the future, together with all of you.

Today, we have released a public installer for XSharp Cahors 2.24.

The "What's New" document, describing all the changes, can be found here:

The public installer can be downloaded here:

This new installer is several Mb bigger than the previous installer, because we have now also included documentation in Chinese!

Please remember: we need your financial support to keep this product alive.

X# 2.24 is the last X# 2 build. From now on, we will be working on X# 3 only, with the focus on supporting the latest .Net versions. Of course, X# 3 will also still support .Net Framework.

More information about what's in X# 3 can be found here: https://www.xsharp.eu/articles/blog/what-s-coming-in-x-3-modern-net-features-and-net-8-compatibility
