Seems happy with 'end for' though, but that's not valid VFP syntax
Do you mean that the editor does not highlite it (which is indeed a known problem), or does the compiler not accept it either when building? Tested it here and seems to work ok.

It doesn't highlight it, and it throws a compiler error XS1003, Syntax Error, 'NEXT' expected.

Could you please zip the solution folder and send it so we can have a look?

Guys,
Didn´t notice it before, but this code - with the dialect setting <VO> or <Foxpro> - compiles and runs. To see what´s going on i compiled the source with the -ppo+ -showincludes+ -nostddefs+ settings - and the ppo file content still shows "END FOR". I´ve looked at the X# Help but i didn´t find any hint that "END FOR" is a legal statement - but it is
BTW. I´m pretty sure that Alan didn´t select in VS the <Foxpro> dialect, so a not preproccessed "ENDFOR" throws the XS1003, Syntax Error, 'NEXT'
Code: Select all
FUNCTION Start( ) AS VOID
LOCAL i AS INT
FOR i := 1 TO 3
? i
END FOR // <----
FOREACH VAR c IN { "one" , "two" , "three" }
? c
END FOR // <---
RETURN
regards

"BTW. I´m pretty sure that Alan didn´t select in VS the <Foxpro> dialect,"
I ran the Visual Studio wizard to create a Foxpro Console Application, which sets the dialect automatically.
'End For' might be valid in other dialects, but it's not valid Visual Foxpro.

Alan,
VS17 community on W8.1/64 German, 2.07 FoxVersion.
New project / FoxPro Console app
modified to
USING System
USING System.Collections.Generic
USING System.Linq
USING System.Text
FUNCTION Start() AS VOID STRICT
? "Hello World! Today is ",ToDay()
LOCAL x AS INT
FOR x = 1 TO 100
? x
// NEXT
// endfor
END FOR
WAIT
RETURN
CTRL-F5 compiles and runs in all three "closing" versions.

Run the Wizard? I assume you mean File/New/Project, Select Foxpro Console Application and Next button to create?

Right, at the link below is a 5MB MP4 screen recording showing installation of XSharp and then what I'm doing in Visual Studio.
