Welcome to the Potomac Area FoxPro Users Group,

serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region (D.C., suburban Maryland and Virginia).  Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month in the suburban location of Fairfax, Virginia. We encourage all people with any level of interest in FoxPro to attend. We are fortunate to have a membership that includes a number of developers who are renowned for their Visual FoxPro skill and experience. We often have many Visual FoxPro experts in attendance who may be able to help you with any programming or development questions you may have.

Next Meeting:

Thursday, June 5, 2008 @ 6:30:pm

Feature Topic:

Dot Net development with VFP backend from a VFP developer's perspective

Presented By: Don Rapp
Summary Although no expert in .Net, I will show how how to query data doing what VFP developers see as standard SQL statements via OleDBProvider, handling parameters to prevent SQL injection attacks

I'll also get into some samples on binding the data to grids, handle formatting and paging. How to customize the look / content of a grid instead of a simple single column/field per row including adding images and such. How does .Net handle postback events from objects.

This will all be done with C#.Net 2.0 and standard VFP OleDBProvider. I'll also show how to implement a multi-threaded VFP .DLL COM server for some more complex calls back to VFP for processing that is otherwise limited through the OleDBProvider.
