Thanks,

Good news is that X# in its current version is mapping TEXT/ENDTEXT to an internal function... See personal communication regarding the command with Robert.

TEXT .. ENDTEXT is also parsed and send to a function with the name "__TextSupport". That function is not included in the runtime yet, but if you include that function in your code then it works.

So in short, this will be supported by X#, the internals are just not yet implemented, but will be with the final release of VFP support.  If somebody interested, it can be developed by a community member as part of the opensource runtime...

Regards,

Johan.

Steve Ellenoff and I were talking the other day about the beauty of TEXTMERGE (TEXT/ENDTEXT) and iirc he indicated that wasn't in DotNet (or earlier versions anyway).  I use TEXT/ENDTEXT *HEAVILY* in code often.

Hi VFPers

I have asked this question on foxite too with very little feedback, so I am asking it here too.

If you have to summarize the 1 or 2 features of VFP that you will feel is a step backwards when migrating to .NET or any other platform as a move forwards.

Looking forward to your replies.

Two things that was highlighted on Foxite:

1. Macro-compilation
2. Evaluate(<script>)

From a X# perspective the FOX release already has support for:

1. DBFCDX and readonly access for VFP specific FieldTypes (AutoInc, etc) with full support planned in the foreseeable future;
2. WITH/ENDWITH, TEXT/ENDTEXT (partially implemented);
3. Macro-compilation;
4. Script engine that can make full use of the .NET framework.

XBase greetings,
