Re: Virtual Fox Fest

I'm really impressed with this HopIn platform. It definitely works best in Chrome (except on my iPad, where it works best on Safari because Chrome wouldn't allow me to share my camera/mic). I like that you can "lurk" when someone's asking vendor questions, or turn them on and ask yourself. You can

Re: Virtual Fox Fest

I'm excited to see what John has to say about VFPA and especially the C++ compiler. When I was preparing my session last year and was reading about that I thought "Well this is an entire session unto itself" so I didn't get too far into it but it looks very very interesting. It actually takes your

Re: ODBC for VFP Tables

You can see my old blog post for how to add ODBC drivers, but if you're looking to add ODBC drivers for *VFP* tables, they stopped working after version 7 I believe. Eric On Mon, Aug 10, 2020 at 4:42 PM Des

Re: Task: Process thousands of records through a regular process -- multiple EXE runs to cut down processing time??

I'm not sure I trust RLock(). I'd probably use a "Status" field that indicates the record is unprocessed, in process, or processed. This might be a good use case for Christof's DMult multi-threading utility . Eric On Sat, Aug 1, 2

Re: Where is the Fox?

Don't those measure how many questions were asked about those languages on those platforms? Fox is so easy there are fewer questions, and we ask them on other platforms. That's my spin and I'm sticking to it. On Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 11:45 AM Ed Leafe wrote: > Redmond Programming Language ranking

Re: X# and .NET Core

And if there's something that's not quite supported yet, there's a file called dbcmd.xh that you can use to "create" commands. e.g. #command SCAN => CoreDb.GoTop(); DO WHILE NOT CoreDb.Eof() #command ENDSCAN => CoreDb.Skip(1); ENDDO See the SWFox X# whitepaper

Re: [SPAM] Unit tests (was Re: [NF] I will .....)

I may be biased here, having given the Unit Test talk at SW Fox and now maintaining FoxUnit on GitHub, but to me Test-Driven Development is one of those things where I "saw the light". As Stephen says, writing the tests first forces you to think about design first, which always leads to better prog
