New to X#? There are a lot of Pearls

Post by wriedmann »

Hi Johan,
yes, I knew about Musks origins.
And yes, it would be again time for a visit to Africa, but it seems our next visit to the Southern Africa will go to Botswana.
This year is entirely North America - to Canada in May, and to the Yellowstone in August, after California around years end.

New to X#? There are a lot of Pearls

Post by Phil Hepburn »

Hi Wolfgang and guys !
Yes, I am enjoying my 'part' retirement doing much woodworking and house renovation.
It looks like the latest Bandol version was released to celebrate my (now past) 70th. birthday. Yes, I make Robert seem like a young boy ;-0)
I would have liked to visit Austin, but there were too many things in my way - sorry folks.
After withdrawing my annual funding from Microsoft for their Visual Studio 'support', I am surviving on the free public release of 2019.
I am interested to see if I can learn IronPython, and get it to work nicely with X~ and .NET
Does anyone think this a mad idea ? Just wanted a new and different project for when I run out of nice hardwood!
Best Regards to all my X# friends.
Phil (the Pearls man).

Hi Phil,
Good to see you're still around.
A new project is always a good thing.
I've no idea about IronPython, so can't help you there.
So many other possibilities too that have my attention at the moment, like functional programming, AKKA.NET, Masstransit. But those are already in .NET.

And reading the Bible is of course always the best idea.

Hi Phil,

I have done IronPython integration into C# apps and with the help of some COM interfaces I was able to use any late bound class inside a VO app. Very cool stuff. But never gone productive with the VO part.
The C# apps are using IronPython scripting for customizing the data layer.

Last month I have nearly finished the X# integration.
But to be honest the X# scripting capabilities are very good and I think I will replace IronPython over the time. There are some points where IronPyhon is better.
- Load and run scripts in a script at runtime is very easy
- COM handling is very powerfull
- call a specific function defined in a script
- define a function in a script and call it from your C#/X# app (very usefull for callbacks)

Regards,
Stefan
