As many of you know - I have been DEEPLY involved with using AI for Coding

Efforts - largely for conversions from FoxPro to C#. But, also - for some

FoxPro code updates - and even using Claude to help me solve code problems

- even at times data problems.

Yes - it's been a while since I last posted...

Yes - it's been INSANELY Quiet the last few months here on the ProFox

List...

But, something fun occurred today - that I felt I really wanted to chat

here about!

First - as you folks probably already know - the CEO of the co. where I

work - agreed to get an Annual Claude AI Subscrip for me and my Manager -

after I did the initial testing to prove how Claude could be Helpful.

Since then - I have been plowing thru things with Claude...

Then - a couple weeks ago - my manager sent an email to my programming

co-worker, as in, the CEO approved for him to get Claude. Although - at the

time - my co-worker was in Thailand on vacation. So - he got back mid-last

week, and saw the email. Then - like 2 days ago - he got his subscription

to Claude. I had some Serious chats with him - then also discussed a LOT

about how I work with Claude - what I feed him - to do the Screen

conversions. And, he started using Claude to finish the Dev work on a Very

complicated C# screen. He was Immediately getting BLOWN Away by what Claude

could do. And - yeah - he is using Claude Code & the Desktop App - so it

can Directly Read and Manipulate code.

Well, today - I got back to work on this one screen conversion for Cust

Order Maint. I previously did the project prep work - Flattened the FoxPro

screen code - had Claude read it - find all the DBF's - update a FoxPro

program to open them all - then list out ALL DBF files to a status file -

DBF and each Index (List Status) - and all structures (yeah - separate

commands).

And, I already gave Claude my documentation for the Vision Process - where

it can SEE what it produces via a C# screen - to understand the FoxPro

screen layout - and convert it into a Viable C# screen.

So - based upon Everything I gave it - I said - here is the Flattened

FoxPro code for the screen. Produce the XAML code - and Bare min. C# code

behind - just enough so it can run! Claude did it. And, before I ran it for

the VERY First time - I brought up the actual FoxPro screen, via our system

- with an actual data record - and have that window on my 2nd screen. I

told my co-worker to come over - I wanted to show him something - I said -

Claude just created the screen with what I gave him - I am about to Run

that new screen!

It worked - Screen layout was VERY Close to the FoxPro screen layout -

which was running on my second monitor. The new screen also has ALL our

Standard C# control Styles applied!

He was BLOWN AWAY! He was like - WOW - that right there would have taken me

TWO Weeks to develop in C# - and, we are talking Just laying out the

Controls - NO Date wiring involved yet!

So - Bottomline - it was SUPER FUN to watch his shock at what I showed

him!!!

OK folks - Carry On...
