Hi all

Does anybody have any experience with this? Is it robust and reliable?

Thanks

Paul Newton

What do you expect from a NET Class-library from 2002 ?

Hi Juergen

Well I was thinking it would be backwards compatible ...

I've used it a little bit - what I used seemed solid but a lot of it has been rendered less useful after 16 years of developments in the .NET framework. For example:

"Functions like STRTOFILE() convert a string to a file in only one line of code. "

Well, these days you can:

File.WriteAllText(@"c:\temp\myfile.txt", @"Some text.");

"Functions like STRTOFILE() convert a string to a file in only one line of code."

... so give it, say, another 16 years and it could have caught up with
Foxpro <g>

The main usecase for the toolkit is replicating / packaging classic VFP
functions into object calls.

If you're an "oldfashioned" FoxPro guy, you're used to commands and
functions and you know them in and out. Thus you're tempted to have the same
"ease of use" with NET. That's absolutely ok, but later on you will notice
that the "real" NET way to deal with objects and their methods is notable
more flexible.

wOOdy

Very funny Peter!  I actually had some people bust on me - claiming I
had a mullet. But, I think they were exaggerating!
