Acknowledging that getting a handle on the new features of a development environment is difficult, the tips in this guide organize the new features of Visual FoxPro 9 into functional categories, revealing how and why to use each of them. Visual FoxPro 9 features improvements in many areas, for example, the Report Designer, which include multiple detail bands; built-in output to HTML, XML, and image files; object protection; an improved userinterface; extendible Report Designer; extendible run-time features; and GDI+ rendering.

With its native data engine, rich object-oriented language, and capabilities to produce COM servers and consumer Web services, Visual FoxPro is the single most flexible programming tool available to software developers. But in today's programming environment, nothing stands alone. This guide will show developers how to extend the scope and power of Visual FoxPro as a development tool by integrating it with other software technologies. This much-anticipated sequel to 1001 Things You Wanted to Know About VFP both expands coverage of topics such as data driving and reporting and introduces new topics such as e-mail, IntelliSense, charts and graphs, PDF technology, MSDE, COM/DCOM, XML/ADO, and designing for extensibility.

This guide for FoxPro developers demonstrates how to move from requirements into design and from design into implementation as users build MyFrame, the sample framework included with the book. The development and use of several tools that boost productivity are addressed in detail. Also considered is how frameworks improve developers' productivity by preprogramming much of the inner workings of an application, letting developers concentrate on the customer requirements and business logic of the application.

The major enhancements in this edition over the previous edition will be coverage of the Microsoft Transaction Server and integration with Microsoft SQL Server--the two most important additions in version 6. Coverage of the enhanced debugger, profiler, and Year 2000 compliance checker will also be important to this audience. The new debugger and Year 2000 checker will automate much of the tedious FoxPro debugging process from the past. This book is aimed at the experienced, professional FoxPro developer--unlike most of the competition. This book will provide a "visual development" foundation for those programmers moving to Visual FoxPro, but will not provide basic introductory FoxPro and database coverage for brand new users. Experienced users will find the "Techniques from the Pros" provide plenty of in-depth reference and examples. An additional section will cover integration with other Visual Studio applications--particularly Microsoft SQL Server.

For those simply curious about what .NET offers, this book provides a strong overview of the .NET framework and the C# and Visual Basic .NET languages and helps developers assess these new technologies through the lens of Visual FoxPro. Included are introductions to .NET, Visual Studio .NET, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. For developers who are ready to learn specifics about how to use .NET in their software development projects, it offers information on best practices to help climb the .NET learning curve and get up and running quickly. This information includes .NET business objectives, building Web applications with ASP.NET, .NET XML, and error handling and debugging in .NET.

Visual FoxPro developers are used to building large, complex applications using only VFP as their programming environment. But Windows users are demanding more—integration with other applications such as the Microsoft Office suit—Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Visual FoxPro can be used to automate—either visually or behind the scenes—any task or process that you could do manually in Office, plus much more. In Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro, users learn how to create powerful applications that span the entire Office suite, using Visual FoxPro in the driver’s seat.

Reports are key to a successful software application. It doesn't matter how efficiently the users enter data, how much information the system can store, or how many complicated calculations the system can process if there's no way to see the final outcome. In this reference, software developers are shown how to use every nook and cranny of report writers. Included are fundamentals of using the VFP Report Writer correctly such as starting the report wizard, invoking the report designer, and report bands. Advanced tips are provided as well, including nesting data groups and creating variables and calculations.

Starting with simple examples, you¿ll see how the multi-user, local area network applications that Visual FoxPro developers are used to building are constructed in Visual Basic .NET. You¿ll learn how to use Crystal Reports to build reports like the ones you build in FoxPro. You¿ll discover how to use DataAdapters and datasets instead of DBFs. You¿ll see examples of the paradigm shift that client-server programming imposes, and why .NET solves that problem (even when you wouldn¿t need to solve it in FoxPro.) And you¿ll learn how to give your FoxPro and Visual Basic applications smart client remote data access.
You¿ll understand how to begin the construction of a database project in Visual Basic with a container form and a MainMenu instead of using _Screen and MSYSMENU. You¿ll learn how variables are declared and used; how menus are controlled; how to use events, and why you have to use events in VB when they¿re unnecessary in FoxPro. You¿ll learn how to build inheritable forms, Visual Basic¿s answer to FoxPro¿s form class templates, to reduce programming to a minimum. You¿ll learn why properties are like variables in FoxPro, but more like functions in VB. And you¿ll learn where Visual Basic adds features that you didn¿t have in FoxPro and didn¿t know that you needed. You¿ll learn where to look for all of those FoxPro commands and functions that you need. And in case you haven¿t yet used SQL Server with FoxPro, the examples will demonstrate how it¿s done first in FoxPro, then in VB .NET.

A tutorial for novices and a reference for experienced users, featuring step-by-step guidelines for using Web Connection in a day-to-day manner as a developer, this book offers several development alternatives based on the user's style. Demonstrated are the building of two different applications, one easy and one more complex, and nearly two dozen trouble-shooting steps in case of problems. Also explained is the infrastructure of the Internet and, specifically, web applications. Once developers are comfortable building and deploying an application they are then shown how to take advantage of more complex framework features such as file-based versus COM configuration, extending the framework, data entry using object-oriented techniques, and asynchronous applications.
