Implementing missing VFP functions

<r>It looks like in VFP the first parameter needs to be explicitly in binary to allow all three parameters like you have, so I tweaked your code a little bit.<br/> <CODE><s>[code]</s>LOCAL bTest AS varbinary, n bTest = 0h110101001000 ? BitSet( bTest, 0 , 3 ) && 3407 ? BitSet( bTest, 0 , 2 ) && 3403 ...

Implementing missing VFP functions

I'm trying to think if there's a tool that VFP devs can run on their codebase that counts up function call into a nice report. Anybody know of such a thing. A profiler of sorts.

X# STRCONV() implementation proposal

<t>I think this is very cool. I'm trying to figure out a way to create tests so that rather than compare against an "expected value" it would compare against what VFP returned so we could ensure they're the same. If we compiled this into a .NET Class we could call that from DotNetBridge in VFP and ...

Input needed on FoxPro local support

Nor should they ever.

TYPE("MyVar = 10") is a character string and should never assign any value to any variable.
TYPE(MyVar = 10) might return a boolean if MyVar is numeric, otherwise it will throw a type error.

Can't open DBF table

I've never had or seen a table that needed a N(3,2) field, and I would never think to rely on this "bug" in production.

Input needed on FoxPro local support

<t>It's important to note that the PRIVATE keyword in FoxPro does not actually denote the variable's scope at all. What it actually is doing is saying "If I have any variables in scope with this name at this point, shield it from getting changed while this function is running because I'm about to ...

Debugging data environment

What would I put down in the watch window if I wanted to know about the current data environment, like DBF(), RECNO(), field values, etc.?

Mixing C# and X#

<t>Ah - I think I see now what I was doing wrong. I was trying to stick C# code into a project that I had created using the X# WPF Application Template. I need to create a new project from the C# WPF Application Template so I get the correct compiler settings. <br/> <br/> Thanks for talking me ...
