Final steps
for conversion to .NET
nRun FoxPro program vb2net which:
nMakes sure there is a space before each “_” continuation
character
nAdds type declaration at end of each DIM statement
nCreates DIM statements for any variable the first time
it is used
nUses the first character of the variable name to
determine the type: c=String,
b=Boolean, n=Integer, d=Date
nRemoves “SET ” at the beginning of an object value
assignment
nReplaces various framework public variables XXX with
v.XXX (v is the
instance of the framework object that is created by all applications)
nDrop code into a Visual Studio project code-behind file
and incrementally edit
until Visual Studio shows no more errors (Visual Studio will also format with standard
capitalization and indentation)
