I am now on X#

[rjpajaron]

Hello All,

I started porting to X# last December 26 and finished January 1st, 2020. and another 18 days of fixing some bad codes and replacing a lot of Windows API calls to .NET equivalent.

I did not post anymore of my issues because similar issues are available in Search and I just read all the messages and follow all the advices. I did that for several days.

Yesterday, I am about to post possible bugs on CreateOrder and SetOrderCondition but in the process of preparing a sample data, the bug did not manifest on it. I realized it was my code.

In some instances CreateOrder will fail if the expression contain a field that have matching DEFINE constant. So, I rewrite the constant and CreateOrder now works perfectly.

Still have issues on ReportPro that says :You must call the ReportProInit() to function..... I have no idea if it is ReportPro's message or mine but I turn off ReportPro init on purpose to minimize compile errors. Time to start ReportPro.

So, I have so many things to do on testing but the most difficult have passed already.

I am all-in on X# and expect my re-FOX membership to follow... I have to say goodbye to VO, but I discovered so many bad codes (thanks to X#) and I will fix it on VO to allow our clients to continue on VO apps for awhile while am still on ALPHA testing mode.

I have no idea why it works on VO, it is really a bad code and I can see my stupid self. Feeling like a time travel. "this code is written by an idiot. chances are that same idiot was me".

PS: I am about to start on Blazor (Server), I will try to use some code on X#. This will works.

and I will tweet Ginny about my journey. I told her last year that I will move to .NET with X# on 2020. She said to me that she is planning say goodbye to VO on 2020 as well. I told her that X# have a a native runtime. She wish me luck and now that I passed that difficult stage already, she deserved an update from me.

Rene,
That is excellent news.
And also very smart that you fix the problems that X# finds in the VO code as well.
Btw we are working on a new version of Rp2 for X# that makes the conversion a bit easier

Thanks Robert....

...and let me say that you are not alone in thinking about how bad some of your code was in VO etc. I had the same experience a couple weeks ago when I tested my old VO app in X#, I really could not believe how some parts of this program were working in VO before

[rjpajaron]

While were here, is the new ReportPro (RP354Xs210) alrready ADS ready? My apps is expecting a "AXDBFCDX" something, it appears this is the issue of ReportPro here. What RDD I need to put to make it connect to ADS server? Right now, it has no RDD files at all.
