	Fishing with a ProjectHook This session will detail how to use the projecthook class, Project Object, and File Object included with Visual FoxPro. This session will introduce this important developer class and built in COM objects and demonstrate some of their powerful uses. There will be several demonstrations of real world functionality VFP developers can write with these classes to enhance their development environment. We wrap up the session with an example that ties both the VFP projecthook and the Project/File Objects in a utility to assist developers to build applications faster. Attendees will learn how to: 1. Hack the project metadata (PJX) to get details about the project. 2. Use the projecthook class to hook into and alter the behavior of the Project Manager. 3. Work with the Project Object to read and set up properties of the project. 4. Work with the File Object to programmatically add and delete files from the project. 5. Enhance and customize the projecthook to increase your productivity.    a. Create an audit trail of files edited    b. Control the environment setting like the current directory, path, and class lib    c. Set up the IntelliDrop settings to custom classes for each project    d. Backup Metadata files before editing (rudimentary source control)    e. Clean out the printer information from FRX files    f.

It is important to use software to do bug tracking and creating Help files. 2. Using a CASE tool to do database design is better than the native tools. 3. An internal Wiki can be used in team environments and even for single developer shops. 4. Virtual computers are a great way to test your applications on different operating systems, and different deployment scenarios. 5. Source code control can save your life. 6.
