Hi Kurt, that FmPro has converters for a lot of different languages; I once looked at them but wasn't overwhelmed by the results. IMHO, they only converted PRG style code, no scx, vcx etc
The company Macrosoft Inc was very active in fishing for VFP developers at the last DevCons. They provide also different product support at https://www.macrosoftinc.com/products/ Then there was a session at one of the SwFOX conferences https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeu5LYF_7t8&ab_channel=GeekGatherings for converting to X#, which is another xBase.Net product. And yet another one: https://modlogix.com/visual-foxpro-modernization-services/ oh, and I didn't mention www.lianja.com yet. Now with AI support. Done :=) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Kurt Wendt Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24. April 2025 19:44 An: ProFox Email List <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Betreff: FmPro Migrator ??? Hello there Oh Mighty ProFox Hive Mind! As many of you know - I've been doing a lot of digging in to AI recently - to use it as a Tool for FoxPro system conversion. We are now at the point of looking at weather to use an Online AI tool (like Claude or CoPilot) vs. using a Local LLM (like Ollama and loading it with an AI Model). So, today - for the Hell of it - I put a question to the M$ CoPilot, essentially asking AI which AI option is the Best to use - for doing a conversion - using this prompt: What are the best AI options to use for trying to convert older Visual FoxPro code to a WPF based C#/.Net platform, in order to automate as much as possible the conversion of a FoxPro based system?? Honestly - I was Very Surprised by it's answer: For automating the conversion of Visual FoxPro code to a WPF-based C#/.NET platform, you might consider tools like FmPro Migrator. It offers a Code Conversion Workbench that supports automated conversion of Visual FoxPro PRG files and form code into C#. This tool allows you to manage the conversion process efficiently, customize machine learning prompts, and even train AI models to improve the quality of the converted code. Additionally, it integrates with tools like GitHub Copilot X and Visual Studio IntelliCode to refine the output further. As such, my question to the ProFox Hive - has anyone ever heard of this FmPro Migrator? Or, does anyone have any actual experience using it??
