X# Runtime and SDK Reference |  |
This is the generated documentation for the XSharp Runtime and VO SDK.
Please note that DotNet does not know the concept of a function. Therefore the compiler converts functions to static methods of a compiler generated functions class.
The same is true for DEFINES. These are added as constants fields in the functions class.
The XSharp runtime has a couple of these classes:
and more. There is no need to do anything special when writing code. The compiler will automatically resolve function calls, such as: Left(cString,10) and will generate the following output XSharp.Core.Functions.Left(cString,10). The compiler will also translate a define such as FA_NORMAL to XSharp.Core.Functions.FA_NORMAL.
In fact the compiler will include the value of this DEFINE in the generated code. You will not be able to see in the generated code that the value 0x00000080 was read from the FA_NORMAL define.
The source code for the XSharp Runtime is available on GitHub.
If you find bugs with this code, please report them by sending an email to bugreports@xsharp.eu.
Or even better, locate the bug and send us a bugfix.
The best way to do that is :
Finally, if you like what you are seeing, you can help to support the X# development by subscribing to the "Friends Of XSharp" (FOX) program.

The best way to do that is :
- Create a Fork of our Github repository
- Create a unit test in the appropriate unit tests project
- Fix the problem
- Send us a pull request for the unit test and the bug fix

Namespaces| Namespace | Description |
|---|---|
| Advantage | This namespace contains the exposed RDDs for Advantage. |
| System.Linq | This namespace contains extension methods (Sum(), Min(), Max()) for the XSharp Numeric datatypes Float and Currency |
| VO | This namespace contains all the VO SDK Classes, such as DbServer, DataWindow, SQLSelect etc. If you enable the compiler option to search inside "Implicit Namespaces" (/ins) then you will not have to include a USING VO statement in your code. The compiler will then automatically find the classes. The Runtime will also respect these implicit namespaces, so CreateInstance(#DbServer) will also be able to find the DbServer class inside the VO namespace. |
| VOGUIClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the VOGUIClasses assembly |
| VOInternetClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the VOInternetClasses assembly |
| VORDDClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the VORDDClasses assembly |
| VOSQLClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the VOSQLClasses assembly |
| VOSystemClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the VOSystemClasses assembly |
| XSharp | This namespace contains the classes and structures that are used to implement the XBase types, such as USUAL, SYMBOL DATE and FLOAT. |
| XSharp.ADS | This namespace contains several types used by the Advantage RDDs in the RDD system. |
| XSharp.Core | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.Core DLL. |
| XSharp.Data | This namespace contains several types used in the XSharp runtime to access data through the Ado.Net Data providers. |
| XSharp.Debugger | This namespace containes several windows that can be used to inspect the Runtime State and open workareas/cursors at runtime. |
| XSharp.Harbour | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.Harbour.DLL. |
| XSharp.Internal | This namespace contains types (classes and attributes) used by the compiler. These are normally not used in End users (your) code. |
| XSharp.IO | This namespace contains types used in the (low level) File IO. |
| XSharp.Parsers | This namespace contains the some classes that are used to parse embedded SQL statements. |
| XSharp.RDD | This namespace contains types used by the RDD system. |
| XSharp.RDD.Enums | This namespace contains enumerated types used by the RDD system. |
| XSharp.RDD.Support | This namespace contains several helper types used by the RDD system. |
| XSharp.RT | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.RT.DLL. |
| XSharp.RT.Debugger | This namespace contains the Functions class that has the functions to show the Runtime Debugger windows. |
| XSharp.VFP | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.VFP DLL. |
| XSharp.VFP.UI | This namespace contains the compatibility classes that are used in code generated by the VFPExporter tool. |
| XSharp.VFP.UI.Properties | |
| XSharp.VO | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.VO.DLL. |
| XSharp.VO.SDK | This namespace contains strongly typed versions of the VO SDK Classes, such as DbServer, DataWindow, SQLSelect etc. If you enable the compiler option to search inside "Implicit Namespaces" (/ins) then you will not have to include a USING XSharp.VO statement in your code. The compiler will then automatically find the classes in this namespace. The Runtime will also respect these implicit namespaces, so CreateInstance(#DbServer) will also be able to find the DbServer class inside the XSharp.VO namespace. |
| XSharp.XPP | This namespace contains the Functions class that implements the Runtime functions available in XSharp.XPP.DLL. |
| XSharp_VOGUIClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the XSharp.VOGUIClasses assembly |
| XSharp_VORDDClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the XSharp.VORDDClasses assembly |
| XSharp_VOSQLClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the XSharp.VOSQLClasses assembly |
| XSharp_VOSystemClasses | This namespace contains the functions class with the functions and defines from the XSharp.VOSystemClasses assembly |
