Hi all VFPers,
Had trouble posting the original message here, but here is a shortened
version. It can also be found at:

I thought while looking through all the Examples on the Downloads area
that the above mentioned example might be a good mix of typical XBase
style VFP and VFP features/functions that were not part of the original
DBase language, when the fork into various XBase style languages
started back in the 80's. As some of you might be [un]aware there is a
"new" opensource XBase language XSharp (X#) started in 2015 from the
discontinued Vulcan.NET language that has its roots in the original
Clipper/CA-Visual Objects fork. It is based on the opensource MicroSoft
C-Sharp (c#) compiler project called Roslyn that can be found on
GitHub. XSharp available from http://xsharp.info
XSharp already have full featured "Language Syntax" selection for
[x]Harbour (a Clipper fork based on the Borland C++ compiler), XBase++,
CA-Visual Objects, Vulcan.NET and in true form XSharp.Core. The next
language to be addressed is VFP. Two IDE environments are available,
MicroSoft Visual Studio and XIDE. XIDE is 100% X# developed. X# can be
defined as The XBase syntax c# compiler.
Fabrice Foray, the Visual Studio integration developer, was invited to
present X# at the French VFP Conference in May
Request was already submitted for 2 sessions at swfox later this year.
I took a "timed" conversion of the ValidateUTF8 example and was able to
have it 100% converted into XSharp/.net in about 45 minutes.
What are your impressions?
Johan Nel.
