    Adapting MSP to Microsoft C++ ©James T. Smith, 1999 1. Introduction A. General Comments I. Purpose

    Adapting MSP to Microsoft C++ ©James T. Smith, 1999 1. Introduction a. General comments i. Purpose (1) MSP was developed in a PC environment with the original version of Borland C++, then adapted in several stages to Version 5.0, the standard for this book. Many readers, however, prefer to or must use a different compiler. The environment most frequently mentioned that is somewhat close to the book’s is Microsoft’s. This file describes my adaptation of MSP as a suite of Microsoft Visual C++ Win32 Console Applications. (2) It’s an adaptation guide, not a completed product. Most MSP features described in this book work under the adaptation, but it has not been used for further development. With it, you can see how these features work in your Microsoft environment. To use it for a major project, however, you’ll probably want to select only the appropriate MSP modules. You’ll need to test the adaptation much more thoroughly, and probably add minor cor- rections as needed by your specific application. ii. Major differences (1) Microsoft’s complex mathematics module is implemented with templates. That adds more levels of implicit conversions for the compiler to consider when resolving overloaded function declarations. Many more ambiguities would result, and some methods MSP uses to resolve them would no longer work. This would cause so many changes that you’d lose sight of the rest. So the adaptation contains a completely rewritten complex module. (2) Microsoft handles hardware faults, such as overflow detected by the floating-point processor, by throwing“structured exceptions”.

    Calling .NET Code from VFP the Easy Way

    Session E-CALL Calling .NET Code from VFP the Easy Way Doug Hennig Stonefield Software Inc. Email: [email protected] Corporate Web site: www.stonefieldquery.com Personal Web site : www.DougHennig.com Blog: DougHennig.BlogSpot.com Twitter: DougHennig Overview At the German DevCon 2011, Doug’s “Creating ActiveX Controls for VFP Using .NET” session showed how to create .NET components that can be used in Visual FoxPro applications. However, these types of controls suffer from a couple of issues: they have to be registered for COM on the customer’s system and there are limitations in working with .NET Interop in VFP that prevent many things from working correctly. This session shows how Rick Strahl’s wwDotNetBridge eliminates these issues and provides some practical examples of how this tool can be used in your applications. Calling .NET Code from VFP the Easy Way 20th European Visual FoxPro DevCon 2013 © 2013 Doug Hennig (Group .NET) E-CALL • 1 Introduction The Microsoft .NET framework has a lot of powerful features that aren’t available in VFP. For example, dealing with Web Services is really ugly from VFP but is simple in .NET. .NET also provides access to most operating system functions, including functions added in newer version of the OS. While these functions are also available using the Win32 API, many of them can’t be called from VFP because they require callbacks and other features VFP doesn’t support, and accessing this functions via .NET is easier anyway. Fortunately, there are various mechanisms that allow you to access .NET code from VFP applications.

    Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET The Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET is a class library with over 225 Visual FoxPro functions for use with any .NET language. The included VFPToolkitNET.DLL is a .NET managed code DLL (not a COM wrapper) and does not require Visual FoxPro. The functions supported execute extremely fast since they are all written in .NET and compiled into a managed code .NET DLL. Included is a reference and tutorial stand-alone CHM help file as well as Visual Studio .NET integrated dynamic help using the same CHM help file. Full IntelliSense and Dynamic Help is enabled for the VFP functions when programming in any .NET language. Using the VFP Toolkit or .NET, most Visual FoxPro functions become available in Visual Basic .NET or any other .NET language. Functions like STRTOFILE() convert a string to a file in only one line of code. The Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET does not teach developers Visual Studio .NET programming, but it does enable developers to do .NET programming much quicker and write less code based on what they are familiar with combined with how these functions reduce coding overall. It is not pseudo-VFP syntax, it is "real" VFP syntax and works most naturally in Visual Basic .NET since it no namespacing is required. The Windows .NET Framework and Visual Basic .NET (or any .NET language) must still be learned. What this toolkit does is assist Visual FoxPro developers using .NET since there is a much quicker learning curve for .NET programming having these functions available. The Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET is not a replacement to any .NET language.
