XSharp Bandol 2.10a
XSharp Bandol 2.10a - Going to try this release out. Anyone used it yet?

Cecil - You posted in in the Public FoxPro forum, and there is another (private) FOX Subscribers forum at https://www.xsharp.eu/forum/private-vfp.
So far, 2.10a has only been released to FOX Subscribers. I bet if you post in that forum, you might get some feedback from there.

Hi Cecil,
AFAIK most of the active X# users are living in Europe like me - and for us the day is starting now (it is 6:03 in the morning here in Italy).
I have installed thw new build yesterday (after having effectively worked with a prerelease for a few days now). My code compiles and my applications (the few I have tried before going to sleep) worked.
I will work with X# today for at least 8 hours, and if there is something broken I will report it.
But I'm working mostly with the Core dialect (using the runtime to access my DBF databases).

Wolfgang, is the Core Dialect in the documentation? In other words, if I want to only use the Core Dialect, is there enough documentation for me to get started? And examples?

Hi Cecil,
Starting with Fabrice's Hello world, that is the Core dialect in crude form in action.
Lets look at a few basics:
Class creation:
Lets make use of namespace for the example:
Basically the whole of the .NET framework is at your fingertips, hence any Google search will bring back zillions of c# examples that can be XBased quite easily.

Code: Select all
LOCAL oForm AS System.Windows.Forms.Form
oForm := System.Windows.Forms.Form{}
oForm:Size := System.Drawing.Size{100, 100}
oForm:Show()
Code: Select all
#using System.Windows.Forms
#using System.Drawing
// Note you can also use "()" instead of "{}", and "." instead of ":"
LOCAL oForm AS Form
oForm := Form{}
oForm:Size := Size{100, 100}
oForm:Show()

Hi Cecil,
The Core dialect does not need any runtime, and uses the .NET Framework.
That means: no date datatype, no codeblock, no array, no DBF access, no macrocompiler.
In this manner I was able to put the first (small) X# application into production - only 6 months after the release of the first version, and long before the runtime was released.
And currently most of my X# applications I have in production are using the Core dialect, and a few of them use a special library (in VO dialect) to access DBF tables.
For samples you should install XIDE and play with the samples there - a few of them were written by myself.
And a documentation you need only the syntax documentation and then the relative documentation of the libraries you like to use: Windows Forms, WPF, Ado.NET, ...

The Core dialect was the first dialect in X# - it is basically a C# with Xbase syntax.is the Core Dialect in the documentation? In other words, if I want to only use the Core Dialect, is there enough documentation for me to get started? And examples?

Hi Johan,
I am sure you already know that, but just a note for new comers:
The using statement does not need a # prefix.

Code: Select all
#using System.Windows.Forms
#using System.Drawing
The using statement does not need a # prefix.

Hi Johan,
... and the samples in XIDE are using also the old notation....
