Visual FoxPro
With its local cursor engine, tight coupling between language and data, and powerful features, Visual FoxPro 8.0 is a great tool for building database solutions of all sizes. Its data-centric, object-oriented language offers developers a robust set of tools for building database applications for the desktop, client-server environments, or the Web. Developers will have the necessary tools to manage data – from organizing tables of information, running queries, and creating an integrated relational database management system (DBMS) to programming a fully-developed data management application for end users.
Visual FoxPro 8.0 includes structured error handling, Cursor Adapter class for universal data access, new auto-increment support for data tables, Microsoft Windows XP Themes support, new base classes and control, new GDI + image support, new event binding for objects, full hierarchical support, new XML Web services features, updated OLE DB provider, improved development productivity, and new and improved compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio NET.
Microsoft is committed to improving Visual FoxPro and serving the needs of FoxPro developers worldwide. Visual FoxPro 8.0 directly addresses the most popular customer requests and support enhancements.
Visual FoxPro COM components can be used with Internet Information Services (IIS) to build high-powered Internet database applications. This is because Visual FoxPro components can be called from Active Server Pages (ASP). Visual FoxPro is compatible with ASP but works even better in conjunction with the more modern ASP.NET. The components will retrieve and manipulate data, and will build some of the HTML returned to the user.
