Claude,
First...
Summer 2003 - converted financial application from VFP to .NET/Crystal and SQL Server
Early 2004 - converted job costing/invoicing application from VFP to .NET/Crystal and MSDE
Mid 2004 - Converted large document production system from VFP to .NET/Crystal and SQL Server
Late 2004 - Early 2005 - converted financial statement application from VFP to .NET/Crystal and SQL Server
I'm currently working on a second document production system from VFP to .NET, and a check-writing module from VFP to .NET.
This works both ways: I'll post details of my conversion projects, and you can follow-up on Rod Paddock's request (Message #
1004571) to provide an outline on Interop experiences.
Hopefully it'll be more than the answer you gave him (Message #
1004599).
“That sounds good! My experience is very narrow - only ASP.NET to VFP mtdll and the C# is just a stub. Right now in my interop product, ActiveVFP, there are about 10 lines of c# and pretty much everything is on the vfp side. This is working very well. Where appropriate and where VFP is lacking, the "vision" is to add more functionality on the C#(or vb.net) side. The negatives I've heard are that more round trips from C# to VFP will slow down performance, but, with the good perf numbers I've seen I don't know if this is relevant or not.”
Inquiring minds want to know!
