First hand information of VFP DevCon Keynote 2004

Thank you Ted Roche for sharing links of first hand information of VFP DevCon Keynote 2004. Also, thank you very much Andrew MacNeill for posting such a informative and excellent VFP DevCon Keynote 2004 summaries.

• DevCon 2004 Keynote with the Fox Team Part 1
  
• Calvin VFP Keynote Part 2
  
• YAG - VFP Keynote SQL Demos
  
• Randy Brown - Keynote Demos
  
• VFP 9 Keynote - Reporting Features
  
• DevCon Keynote Cleanup

Some interesting "demos" I feel excited of:

1. BindEvent - Ability to track event like preventing the user from shutting down the computer dynamically, new media is inserted and also when a file changes.
2. Data Explorer - Drag and drop from data explorer onto program and get code generated to connect to it.
3. Randy's new Fox Media Player which played music, videos and more, using the new shape and PolyPoints capabilities to create its own "player effects". Not only a player, it actually took streamed video and added it to the Blog data and then displayed it directly.

Ya, I am still waiting for any news regarding upcoming version of VFP. I didn't mean VFP9, but after. Or, no after? Something from Ken :

User can type in "my" and it shows a submenu of applications, options and other details.
My User Identity - and it automatically replaces that text with SYS(0)

A content list of blocked code that could be used to help write new code. You choose the activity (like Browsing an XML column) and it automatically puts in the code. This is very similar to Intellisense but it makes the writing of the code much faster.

One more, Calling DotNet Object within VFP is back!
