It did as of that writing. Since the 32 bit version isn't a recompile like the 64 bit version is, it would make sense that it's the same. Speaking of marketing lines, my proposal for this year's SWFox sessions is something along the lines of "Preparing your defense of using Visual FoxPro in 2020".

For what I have been working on, it has been an Xml string that I can process to and from a cursor with the XmlAdapter. In C# I can process it to and from a List. The XmlAdapter will nest related tables such as Orders and OrderItems and bring that back to VFP cursors from the Xml string that is

So VFPA (32-bit) uses the same runtime as VFP9SP3?  Oh.  There goes that marketing line.  (I thought it was using the VC++ 10 runtime.) On 4/21/2020 2:41 PM, Eric Selje wrote: I actually wrote a whitepaper about that! Let me grab the relevant section (since I haven't posted the entire thing qu

What's the return type?  An object with all of the properties? I'm sure you're not returning single values for everything. On 4/21/2020 11:23 AM, Tracy Pearson wrote: It could, but I just call methods in the COM object to get data. -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtec
