DBF Editor

[Fabrice]

Hi,
while working on Visual FoxPro exporter, I had a need : A basic DBF Viewer/Editor
So, I've decided to write my own

It is written with X#, using the DataSource that X# is providing to link the Data to a .NET DataGridView control.
You can view/change Memo text fields, using ICSharpCode.TextEditorControl; and you can view Binary Memo fields using the .NET ByteViewer control.

You can also view a DBF Structure, create a DBF, export the DBF Structure to a Record Class...

It is far from perfect, there are lots of areas for enhancement/corrections/... but ...It's a start

You can get the source and binaries at FabToys-FabDBFEd GitHub

Hi Fabrice,
that is great, thank you very much!
Maybe you can include it in the X# distribution package.

Hi Fabrice,
sure, the version on github is up2date? Got me the zip, opened the sln, as i didn't find binaries.
Had to change target framework from 4.7 to 4.6.1 (being on Win 8.1 ) then
- at compile three "=" where ":=" expected, corrected that,
- two "Try" without Catch or finally
- Warning"ICSharpCode.TextEditorEx"-Assembly missing ? Got me the zip from Github, opened that sln, in turn 4 errors ;( but then at a loss (i'm a zero VS man, sorry...)
- Error The type or namespace name 'ICSharpCode' could not be found (as to expect, from the above warning.)

Karl,
sorry, I forgot :
To get the Binaries, go to the repository page : On the Right you will have a "Releases" block, click on the title.
On the new page, click on the title of Version you want to download : You can then get a Zip with the Binaries.

HTH,
Fab.

Hi Karl,
the source and binary are synced :
Yes, there are some warnings, mainly in Browse1 and Browse2 forms that were earlier version of the Browse, that use DataTable, so the editing was done Offline and I had to save changes at close time : These are no more used, but I keep them as references.
For ICSharpCode, I'm using the Nuget Package : I try to always use Nuget for externals : So, after opening the Solution, you will have to do restore the Nuget Packages in order to get the Dlls...Then you can rebuild.

BTW, I have pushed a new source set with all Warnings corrected

HTH,
Fab.

Good Morning Fabrice!
Thx, could have noticed the release block. (OTOH, in the right pane there are four identically formatted lines, two work as links, two do not ,so i may be disculped...)
Got it, tried, immediately found good use to compare a corrupted old dbf with the sound one!
Tried also the "model" export - great!

@Chris: could there be a glitch with codepages, using Xide,it seems - e.g., my field "Straße" gets read as PROPERTY STRAßE AS STRING AUTO - opening the prg with Notepadd++ or VS17 both show "ß" correctly.
