With a little effort and some glue code in C#, it's even open to traditional Visual FoxPro applications. WinRT isn't limited to new apps which are out of reach for Visual FoxPro. It's best known as the technological foundation of the Universal Windows Platform aka the apps you download from the Microsoft Store. In this session, we take a closer look at the Windows Runtime API.

Before I get a chance to take a deeper look at some of these offerings, they are already outdated, replaced, or maybe only renamed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is confused by the pile of technology that Microsoft is throwing at us in quick succession. Presenter: Christof Wollenhaupt Level: All levels How to call your assemblies using the open source version of wwDotNetBridge.

How to use decompilers like Reflector, DotPeek, JustDecompile to figure out API signatures.How to test code interactively with LINQPad.How to figure out what dependencies are required.How to use NuGet to work with third party components.

NET code, and decompilers like Reflector, ILSpy, DotPeek and JustDecompile to examine API signatures so you know what's available to call for your FoxPro code. You'll find out about useful tools like LINQPad to quickly experiment with. NET code and then call it from your FoxPro application. NET components and use them from your FoxPro code, using both new lightweight tools like Visual Studio Code to create, build and run your code from the command line, as well as using full development IDEs like Visual Studio or Rider to build, debug and test. In this session you'll learn how you can easily create small. NET code, if your code requires a number of calls or accesses complex types it's often much easier to create a small wrapper library in. NET components that often make those interfaces easier to use. With the wwDotnetBridge Interop library you can access most features directly, or you can build small. NET either via built-in features, or by way of open source or third party libraries. Whatever your needs are, you can probably find this functionality in. If you're building modern applications that need to interface with various system or operating system features, you'll likely need external functionality that isn't available natively in FoxPro.
