Hey there Andy - thanks for the feedback. Honestly - I had not heard of Cursor before. Looking around on the Web - seems Cursor is a kind of IDE for help in coding. But, it didn't seem to actually convert FoxPro code. So, I looked at Cursor website, it had a spot to ask questions. As such, I figured I would ask the most obvious question: Can I use Cursor to help me convert FoxPro code to WPF based C#/,Net code?
Well, turns out, it basically concurred with my prior findings - this was it's answer: While Cursor can assist with code conversion tasks through its AI capabilities and code editing features, there's no specific functionality dedicated to FoxPro to WPF/C# conversion. However, you could potentially use Cursor in the following ways: 1. Use the AI-powered conversation interface (CMD+K/Ctrl+K) to help analyze FoxPro code and suggest C# equivalents 2. Leverage code completion and AI assistance while writing the new WPF/C# code 3. Use the editor for handling complex refactoring tasks during the conversion process Since Cursor is built on VS Code, you can also: * Install relevant C# and WPF extensions from the VS Code marketplace * Customize your development environment for .NET development * Use the built-in terminal for running .NET commands Keep in mind that while Cursor can assist in the conversion process, you'll still need to understand both FoxPro and WPF/C# to ensure proper translation of business logic and UI components. But, the real question I had for you was - what is the domain "hawthorncottage.com" all about? I tried to go to that domain but it seems broken. Yeah - just a little curious for a Friday afternoon... -K ________________________________________ From: ProFox on behalf of AndyHC Sent: Friday, April 25, 2025 1:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FmPro Migrator ???

It might have been interesting to ask "What is the best target platform for AI assisted conversion of older Visual Foxpro code " <G> I don't follow these things very closely but I did hear that Cursor was the AI model of choice for code conversion and Mr. Google (AI mode of course!) said Cursor could handle VFP.
