Looking for Visual Studio walkthrough

[artlandsmann]

Hello,

I have inheritted an XBase++ project, and I would like to work with it in VS2022.
I installed XSharpSetupPublic2.12.0.4.exe

When I create a blank Solution and add some .prg files, they are not syntax-highlighted.

I was hoping to have an option to create an X# Project/Solution, but that wasn't one of the options.

Is there a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get started with a HelloWorld X# project that shows the Intellisense/Etc. available in VS2022?

Thank you,
Art

Art,
first, get you the actual version 2.18.

Hi Art,

Which template did you use to create the project? The correct one for the XBase++ dialect is the "Xbase++ console application" and in order to find it easily, please enter "X#" in the search edit box (in the "Create new project" dialect where you get a list of templates), this will show you all the X# related templates, so pick the one I mentioned. This should give you proper intellisense and have all default settings suitable for XBase++ compatibility.
