VFP Solution Explorer

Scott Scovell is working on VFP solution explorer, and Craig Bernston is going to the same direction as he mentioned before.

Lets download this powerpoint to have a first look on Scott's Solution Explorer. It allows extensibility as much as possible, provides testing add-ins, deployment add-ins and etc.

DBF Support for Pocket PC

Andrew MacNeill pointed out an interesting link - FiveWin for Pocket PC - FWPPC . It let us create true Pocket PC 32 bit applications for Microsoft Windows Mobile (Pocket PC and SmartPhone). Most importantly, it is OOP, xBase syntax and concept, supports DBF files and similar indexes (CDXs).

I have downloaded a few demo sample code from the website, and the syntax look very familiar with VFP one. Of course, I am expecting more here. Is it possible customize the compiler to match back to VFP syntax such as DBSeek() to SEEK(), DBCreate() to SQL-CREATE statement? How to subclass the UI control and etc? I hope to have more resource for this and willing to see any articles about it published in FPA/Foxtalk.
