SWFOX Early bird extension and X# Post Conf Session
*Hi again VFPers,* *Not sure who receive the geekgatherings emails, but here goes, sorry if it is a nuisance, but thought since X# is really pushing to have a very workable VFP syntax support ready for SWFOX, it need to be brought to the attention of as much VFPers that still ponders about going...* *XBase greetings,* *Johan * *Early-Bird Registration Extension* We are extending the Early-Bird Registration for Southwest Fox 2019 until August 30th. The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, saves $50! *X# Post Conference Session Details* When: Sunday, October 27, 2019, 2:00 following the Closing session Where: Conference Center, rooms E and F Length: 1.5 to 2.0 hours If you've already registered for the conference and want to attend this session, email *regis...@geekgatherings.com* and we'll add you to the post-conference list. XSharp (X#) is a .NET development language based on the xBase syntax. It is open source and is based on Roslyn, aka the C# compiler. Next to the compiler, X# also provides Visual Studio integration to support most .NET-based applications: Console, Windows Forms, WPF etc. It supports several dialects of the xBase family: Core, Visual Objects, Harbour, xBase++, VFP, etc. It comes with a macro compiler to support runtime evaluation, a Runtime Library and RDDs, and provides runtime components to support dialect-specific classes and functions. X# is a "community driven" project. We build what you, our customers, would like to see. The source for X# is available on GitHub, so you can see what we do and also contribute to the development of the project if you like. The development team originates in the Visual Objects community, so that is why the Visual Objects support is the most developed at this moment. But we are working on expanding the product to the VFP community actively. In this 90 minute post-conference session, we will take you through the migration process of a (simple) Visual FoxPro (VFP) application. We will start with a VFP project and extract its forms, custom controls, menus, reports etc. These will be converted to a Visual Studio Solution, project and source files. We will show you how the code with some modifications will compile and run in Visual Studio. After that we will extend the application with some .NET components. Please remember that the VFP support for X# is "work in progress". Some things are still a little rough and need more work. We will use this session to also discuss with you what YOUR wishes are for the direction of X# for VFP. One example, we have two options for the conversions of VFP forms: 1. We can convert them to standard .NET windows forms or WPF forms. The advantage of this is that everything will work just like in C# and VB and that we can use the built-in editors for forms in Visual Studio. The disadvantage is that some pieces of your existing code will need modifications, especially event handlers. 2. We can create a UI library based on standard .NET forms that will emulate the VFP forms completely. As a result event handlers will "just work". However these forms will be somewhat different from what C# and VB developers are using, and we most likely have to create our own Form designers, that of course would look a lot like the VFP form editor. During the session we will show you approach #1. Approach #2 will need more work on our side (UI library and tools) but some of that work has already done by others, such as Christof Wollenhaupt for Guineu, so we might be able to use some of that. Other (similar) discussions are about SQL access, reporting, which tools we should port, etc. We know that the VFP community has always been very strong. We hope that we can contribute to this community and that together we can help VFP developers to move their applications forward into the world of .NET. Come and join us in this session and help to set the course for the X# VFP support. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/73e4f8b4-a9d2-06b4-e86c-6fd930419...@xsinet.co.za ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

SQL server connection
Hi, After running my app (VFP 9) on our local network (with a DBC) for many years, we are upgrading it (in stages) to a visual studio app with SQL server back end. I have read many people here talking about using SQL as a back end. At the beginning I will just be accessing the SQL data for reporting purposes but may need to write to it at some point. Looking through the archives some people mentioned SPT and others cursor adapters. Just wondering what people recommend to connect, so I can avoid the usual gotchas.

Re: SQL server connection
Considering they are flipping over SQL Server I would learn to USE SQL SERVER correctly on the front end from VFP. You create the sprocs that do all of your CRUD operations. Populate them from the fox world and as VFP is replaced, the newer interfaces will use the same sprocs you laid down today whenever they are activated.

RE: SQL server connection
Peter, Personally, I like SPT because I can build valid and safe pass-through commands in my code based on user selections, generate the string, hand it off to the server with an ASYNCH connection and easily provide users with progress feedback while data is returned. For some reason, I've never been able to wrap my head around cursor adapters completely. Maybe it’s a control issue! :) I think SPT just made more sense to me upfront. Thankfully, Foxpro gives you plenty of different ways to accomplish the same things and you can pick the one that works the way you do! I use it to query data for reporting purposes and it gives me a lot of control over how I construct the query string since I can use all of the string functions within Foxpro to build exactly the query I want based upon users' selections. Another advantage is I able to dump the query string to my audit files just before the SQLEXEC() command fires, so if something goes wrong, I can just copy the query to my SQL management tool and see if I can manually figure out what is going on. So far, I've used SPT successfully to backend Foxpro with SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc. I just tweak queries to customize for the database and the rest of my code remains the same. It works for me, but I'm sure, someone else here will provide you with the benefits of cursor adapters. Paul H.

Re: SQL server connection
Cursoradapter eases the transition from DBC to SQL: you can tailor the SQL command according to the backend, recycle your code, test against either backend seamlessly.

Re: SQL server connection
I'm with you mostly it would seem, Paul. I wrote my own SPT framework years ago after watching Bob Lee demonstrate his VFP app in Wisconsin accessing a MySQL database over the internet in New York back at WhilFest in 2002 or 2003. CursorAdapters sounded great and I'm told they work great today, but initially, I steered clear of them after initial issues in VFP8 after reading Ed Leafe's and others testing results. I know others who use CAs and they work great for them, making it super easy to change backends (VFP, SQL Server, Firebird, etc.) without much code change at all apparently.

Re: SQL server connection
Hi,
Thanks to everyone that replied. I don't have to worry about getting
fired, so all good there.
SPT seems the easiest to begin with, but not got it working yet.
I have created an ODBC link called X2live. I set it up as a system DSN
as I tried a user DSN first and that didn't work.
Just wondering what version of the ODBC driver are you using. Mine is:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 06.01.7601
Did a few quick searches and can't seem to establish if this is a 32 or
64 bit driver.
When I click test data source it comes back with Tests completed
successfully but if I try
?sqlconnect('x2live') && returns -1
I have tried putting in the username/password and didn't make any
difference.
What actual commands do you use to connect?
TIA

Re: SQL server connection
Yes, agreed using stored procedures is a good way, however I believe you still need SPT or CursorAdapters to access those stored procedures, so they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Frank.

I use SQLSTRINGCONNECT usually because those apps build the connection
string manually, but I do have another app that uses SQLCONNECT using a
defined DSN.

query data for reporting purposes and it gives me a lot of control over how I
construct the query string since I can use all of the string functions within
Foxpro to build exactly the query I want based upon users' selections.
Another advantage is I able to dump the query string to my audit files just
before the SQLEXEC() command fires, so if something goes wrong, I can just copy
the query to my SQL management tool and see if I can manually figure out what

So far, I've used SPT successfully to backend Foxpro with SQL, MySQL, Oracle,

It works for me, but I'm sure, someone else here will provide you with the
