VOXPorter and description field in fieldspec

Hi,

we've noticed that we lost one information when porting ou database definitons to X# using VOXPorter.

It looks like the "Description" field in VO does get lost and nowhere to be found in the .xsdbs nor .xsfs generated files :

in VO DB designer :

and resulting ported .xsdbs (after VOXPorter) :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Designers>
<DBServer Name="ComCmd">
<classname>ComCmd</classname>
<hlcaption>ComCmd</hlcaption>
<hldescription>Commandes</hldescription>
<hlhelpcontext>ComCmd</hlhelpcontext>
<rdd>&lt;Auto&gt;</rdd>
<filename>ComCmd.dbf</filename>
<noaccass>No</noaccass>
<superclass>PGSDBSERVER</superclass>
<Fields>
<Field Name="NUMCMD">
        <fldname>NUMCMD</fldname>
        <included>1</included>
        <pos>1</pos>
        <FieldSpec>ComCmd_NUMCMD</FieldSpec>
      </Field>
When using the X# DB designer the resulting .xsdbs is ok :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Designers>
<DBServer Name="ComCmd">
<classname>ComCmd</classname>
<filename>ComCmd.dbf</filename>
<hlcaption>ComCmd</hlcaption>
<superclass>PGSDBSERVER</superclass>
<hldescription>Commandes</hldescription>
<hlhelpcontext>ComCmd</hlhelpcontext>
<share>
</share>
<ro>
</ro>
<rdd>&lt;Auto&gt;</rdd>
<order>0</order>
<noaccass>No</noaccass>
<Fields>
      <Field Name="NUMCMD">
        <fldname>NUMCMD</fldname>
        <pos>1</pos>
        <included>1</included>
        <caption>
        </caption>
        <description>[CLE UNIQUE]</description>
        <FieldSpec>ComCmd_NUMCMD</FieldSpec>
      </Field>
Regards.

Hi Basile,

Did a quick test and seems to work ok here, there must be some difference that I'm not thinking of. Does this happen with all fieldspecs in your app(s). Can you please send me a VO module .mef (or app) with dbservers from your app to test with it here?
