Ultra stupid question

Hi

I well understand your concerns in respect of investing time and effort into learning and understanding a new (to you) product.

XSharp will, I am sure, gain traction. Based as it is on the earlier syntax of VO (which may lead some to think of it as old-hat rather than new), and backed by a committed/ responsive development team and growing community, all evidence points towards this being the case.

In addition to that, anything you learn has simple read-across to MS's flagship product C#, with the advantage that you'll probably find it much easier. (That latter point is, of course subjective)

Focus on getting to grips with WPF. Focus on the concepts of Class wide functions (essential for WPF) and I'll guarantee your time will not be wasted.

lumberjack, hopefully I'll get to actual code examples. Right now it's the bare basics.

Terry, I agree with all your points. As for XSharp and .NET, I'm using Winforms and plan to keep it this way for a while. I've only tinkered with WPF.

Hi,

if you need some samples of small X# application, and are using XIDE, you can find a few here:
https://riedmann.it/verschiedenes_xsharp.php
And in XIDE, on the samples tab of the new application dialog, there are a few more.

I have to add some more applications, I know.... I will try to something in the next weeks.
