Hi Boudewijn, welcome on the UT! :)

>The guys and gals at eTecnologia are working hard in making the next update of the NetCompiler available.
>Right now there is one bug in a sample that ships with the product, they want to make sure that this bug is fixed before shipping it.
>
>What we may expect on new features is this:
>Some fixes in the VFP Forms designer, including Visual Inheritance.
>The property sheet now has a combo Tree that displays the nested controls, like VFP does.
>
>Coming with the next update is a sample called VFPNetControls01.
>In this sample the following features are shown:
>Net controls can now be hosted in vfp forms.
>Visual inheritance for those controls is supported.
>Auto event binding is automatic.
>
>The IDE is improved. Error markers give you better and more useful error descriptions.
>The call stack window, that one that tells you what the path to the error is, is now no longer confused by attaching and detaching to and from processes.
>
>Debug info for the loops (IF, Do While, For EndFor) is improved.
>Abbreviations, the famous 4 letter words, now work in the command window.
>
>PARAMETERS are now supported in the top level procedure.
>So you can call your executable with parameters.
>You can now invoke a prg just by doing SomePrg([params]).
>This means more of your code compiles without errors.
>
>Catched (with CATCH TO) exceptions are now similar to VFP Exceptions with the same properties.
>A new property InnerException in the Exception object, gives you access to the underlying .NET Exception object.
>
>LOCAL now supports dot syntax for types to be more compatible with VFP as in: LOCAL oInfo as MsGraph.Chart.
>This syntax is valid only for LOCAL variables.
>TLOCAL only supports NameSpace::Type syntax for consistency with the rest of the language.
>
>PUBLIC vars are now working.
>
>A new command ADD PROPERTY is available in classes.
>This let you add new properties at design time to an inner object (eg an object in a form).
>The added property becomes an structural property associated with the object, and therefore is inherited by any subclass.
>The syntax is: ADD PROPERTY Path.To.Object.NewProperty [AS SomeType] [= expression]
>
>As said, eTecnologia is debugging one of the samples, so they are certain you receive a working thing.
>This bug seems to be a mean beast, some patience is appreciated and once this update is available a loud applause is well received.
>
>Stay tuned, we're back after the commercials.

>Truth is a hallucination that the majority of people agreed upon. . . So why do I keep on questioning "the truth"?

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
Let's develop superb standards that will end the holy wars.
