  This session gives you an overview of the XSharp (X#) compiler and shows you Visual FoxPro code running in Visual Studio with the help of X#. We will also show you some new language features that are at your disposal after migrating your code to X# and .Net.

  The X# support for Visual FoxPro is not completely finished. We will therefore show you what works and what doesn't work. And we would also like to hear from you, what do you need for your Visual FoxPro applications after they are ported to .Net.

  You will learn / see:

  • What X# is
  • Why X# was created
  • What the level of VFP support in X# is at this moment
  • Visual FoxPro code running in inside Visual Studio
  • Some of the new language features that are available in X#
  • That X# is developed by developers for developers. You can help set the direction where X# goes.

  Prerequisites: a desire to move your Visual FoxPro apps to .Net

Imran works with Project Managers, sales/strategy teams, and clients to ensure the successful migration of legacy applications. Moreover, Imran exhibits effective communication skills and an eye for quality service.

  As a Microsoft Certified and PMI Project Management Professional, Imran can migrate a myriad of difficult technologies. Most recently, he migrated a VFP legacy application which communicated to networking equipment. Testing the application without detailed knowledge of the domain was the real challenge.
