Title:
VFP 6 quest re reliability & performance
G'day.
Got VFP6. Thinking about using it to deliver the (nearly-finished) app in runtime, rather than VFP 5.0a. Especially with my wierd "invalid seek offset" problem. Question: Is it stable enough? Would any of YOU ship a system based on VFP6? It SEEMS to run just fine.
2nd question. Performance. Subjectively, it seems slower working with the screen. And I have a quantitative measurement as well. I have a VERY complex form (a class scheduling calendar) with a LOT of textboxes on it, and a fair bit of refresh code in each. On my Pentium 120, using VFP 5.0a, it takes 1 second to refresh the form (I have timing code in it). Under VFP 6, the same form takes 1.8 seconds. I haven't started doing anything yet to see why the big difference (I haven't changed a byte of code), but if this is the way VFP 6 writes to the screen, I probably won't be able to use it for this app - the 1 second refresh is just acceptable - nearly twice that isn't. Anyone else noticed any performance issues with VFP 6?
