Sounds like a wonderful opportunity .. just curious, how can you tie your development into an app that uses databases or better yet, can use a Sql back-end via IP to a corporate data-store ?

Thanks

... friends, Just to comment you that we are close to end our special offer that we are doing along November and if you are considering it, take this opportunity to buy it and take advantage of this interesting disccount :-) Thanks to everybody because it has been a real success that will benefit ...

Kleyber,

Yes, you can simply download Visual Studio Community, follow this link:

and everything will work fine. In case you have any trouble, we will help you

Tim, James, I could use the editor in Visual Studio but it doesn't highlight the PRG info. That was the initial purpose of the project that is being built right now. The entire project is contained in VS 2013, which creates it's own make files. Also I can work on resources in it. Everything is one p...

Tim, thanks for such a clear explanation. This is an opportunity for us, FiveWin users, to have available the most advanced and standardized programming tools. Also, after completed the VS-Fivewin project, is an opportunity for Fivewin becomes known ...

Tim, I use Visual Studio 2013 PRO. I also use Ultra Edit Studio. They are connected. When an error occurs, I fix it in UE, then press the Save button. Then in VS 2013, simply press Ctrl F5 and do the build ( and run ). It works smoothly. It sounds like you are only using Visual Studio to compile FW/...

Frances,

I have used Harbour only in my tests and developments. xharbour should work fine also (I can not guaratie it) but I have not tested it myself.

If you need to use xharbour as a must, then better keep using the same tools as usual

Tim,

yes, you are right.

Sarabjeet development is not for the final user yet. We are building the engine and now I see that its quite logical that it is not for everybody yet.

Thanks

Antonio,

Yesterday I completed the download of VS community. I will try it and see if it is suited to my needs.. as much as possible I am avoiding exposure to VB/C# for I am more of a Borland guy.. bias huh1?

I hope there is portability for xHarbour too..

Antonio, I was confused about what he built for us. What I saw was something for C files ... and I didn't know how that applied to us. I have always had the resource editor in VS 2013 PRO. I don't use Express so I didn't know it wasn't there. I actually find it is easiest to modify dialogs in source...

Frances, At this stage, using Visual Studio or Borland will not make a difference for you. For none of us. We are using just a C compiler as Enrico very well said :-) But if we are able to complete the project that Sarabjeet has been working on to help us, then things may change drastically :-) Also...

... the Save button. Then in VS 2013, simply press Ctrl F5 and do the build ( and run ). It works smoothly. Why use VS 2013 ? Because it opens an opportunity to do so much more, and yet allows us to retain use of FWH and our xBase programming skills. For those of us who see value in that, this ...

Hi, I agree with James and Enrico :) I thought of this afterward. Am I just using VS as editor? it seems the compiler and linker on both Borland and MS are just performing fine. Now if I can use VS component/control to my FWH app then that's a turning point. can I? say devexpress..? But I support th...
