I will (hopefully) be taking on a large project to migrate an enterprise Visual FoxPro application to C# 3.0 on .NET 3.5. I know that this application has a huge number of settings that have an impact on everything from multi-user/multi-site configurations to report properties. There's at least 150 different settings that are currently g...
We commonly use MS Visual Foxpro v9.0 SP1, the language, tables, and reports. However, sometimes we use an ODBC driver to connect to the tables. The ODBC driver was written for Foxpro v6, and doesn't support certain nested selects, autoincrement fields, or embedded casts. We would like to find an alternative to what we have. It could...
Hi I have a legacy FoxPro exe application. Source codes are not available (it was written in outsourcing and source codes have been never delivered). There is a request to write exactly the same application in C# and then develop new features. Requirements are outdated as usual. While we can see what application does on UI, we also wa...
I work for a company that is using Microsoft Visual Foxpro 9. Since Microsoft has abandoned us, we no longer get fresh driver updates (the last was for ODBC was built for VFP version 6.) Clipper and Foxpro aren't too different, from what I understand. So if they are producing drivers, then that might be a good place to migrate to. Howe...
Our ERP system is a hybrid. The actual data is SQL, but the tables which contain user information, profiles, rights, security, etc is in Visual FoxPro. I need to get exclusive access to the VFP database. I remove everyone from the system using the program itself, and it indicates everyone is out of the system. I get the following r...
Does anyone know how to import .dbf file into MS ACcess 2007? ...
I'm looking at upgrading a POS (Point Of Sale) project which is currently built in FoxPro to .net. The planned architecture is quite complex and there is plenty of rationale behind the new technologies chosen. Some of the requirements include the ability to have both desktop and web front end (where web front end has limited functional...
I’m using Visual FoxPro 9 on Vista in the administrator account. I’m trying to execute the following program: cFile = "c:\XMLAdapter\CustomerXML.xml" adapter = CREATEOBJECT("XMLAdapter") adapter.LoadXML(cFile,.T.) adapter.Tables(1).ToCursor() I’ve copied this program verbatim (except for changing the path of the XML file) from an art...
Can anyone tell me the best way to call FoxPro 9 code from a .Net 3.51 application? I have a legacy production application that is written in Fox 9. I want to expose as much of the logic and business processes as I can so that I can reuse it from .Net. Ideally I want to do this in a way which makes it invisible to the .Net application s...
Has anyone had experience of or got any knowledge about the VFP to .Net Compiler? I'm working for a company with an extensive range of VFP9 applications and they are looking for a quick way to get apps running in .Net. I've been asked to check out this compiler to see if it is a viable option but so far I haven't been able to get it to ...
I need to run a bunch of old DOS FoxPro / Clipper applications in linux under DOSEMU. The programs access their "databases" located on a network server (could be a Windows or Linux server) Actually, the programs ran fine, but I cannot manage to make the record locking work as supposed: I can run a program in two terminals (or the server...
Hi there. I have 0 knowledge of FoxPro/Visual Fox Pro, and I'm trying to understand how this FP application works. There's a bunch of CFX, DBF, FPT, DLL, and EXE files. And the application is launched by running a .EXE. When creating/publishing a FoxPro application - does it create an exe and collate all the needed DLLs? What is the fi...
I was planning on trying out Re-Fox: http://www.refox.net/ They have a demo version - however when testing it it said the recompiler is unsupported in trial mode (which seems strange considering that mainly what the tool is for). It's a $500 product, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a legitimate review of Re-Fox but could...
Hi, I want to get some Ideas from you about Edge and Overview of languages below. Java = ? FoxPro = ? VisualBasic = ? What projects are best using that languages? Are there approach or tool that unites them? (database? I think) ...
We tune a SQL server database by index defragmentation, or re-indexing, or dropping and rebuilding an index. Are there any such data tuning techniques for Foxpro ? Thanks, Chak. ...
Hi, i have try refox and see how eazy my EXE to be disassembled. the refox offer a feature which they guarantee that no one can disassembled. but , is there any other alternative ? ...
Hello, I'm looking for a solution to access a DBF file and read the data, which is exclusive locked. The problem is, that I can't shutdown the master service and copy the database. Is there any possibility to avoid these exclusive lock and read the data anyway? I mean there was a workaround for this, something with a linked table in ...
We have an application that creates a number of Visual Foxpro (DBF) tables. Each of those tables have a different schema, but they all contain a known date field. I've been asked to create another application (in C#) that will copy the last week's worth of data from each table to a new table (in a different folder to the source tables)....
I have a a picture file that needs to go in the Summary Band of a report. However, depending on how much data is on a page, the picture will sometimes span two pages. Is there any way to prevent pictures from spanning pages and force a page break to prevent it? ...
I have a program written in foxpro (~shudder~) that I've inherited. The issue is, it has some COM controls in it. When you start 2 copies, the second copy will throw errors. So I thought, this could be cleaned up to bring the active copy to the front allowing only a single instance. That would be fine, but the program takes a command...
