2023 X# Summit, Austin, March 30-31 2023
- Details
Introduction
In March 2023 we are organizing our second US event, where we would like to meet our customers and potential customers from Canada, North, Middle and South America but also from other parts of the world.
We plan to launch X# 3.03 Γαία (Gaia) at this event.
Since we are a small open source project and we have limited financial resources, we have chosen to organize this as a relatively low budget event.
We have also chosen a location in the south of the US, so developers from Middle and South America, such as Mexico, are also able to come with a reasonable travel time.
We will present the current state of the X# development and what's new in X# 3.0 and show how to migrate your existing apps from for example FoxPro and Visual Objects to .Net.
This includes an explanation of the internals of the X# compiler and runtime and how you can use the new features in the product in your apps.
We will also spend time in explaining how X# works for the various dialects that it supports.
Our partner QLAdmin from Austin has helped us to set up an event that will be both informative but also attractive.
You have the chance to meet colleagues that create applications with the same tools, as well as enjoy presentations where we will demonstrate our open source solution to help you move your applications forward towards .Net.

XSharp 2.13 delayed
- Details
We had promised a X# 2.13 release "end of July"
We were about to release this build to our beta testers, but we found some last minute issues, mostly in the VS integration.
Since some of our team members are going for a short, well deserved, holiday, we will delay this build for a couple of weeks.
If you are "deperately" waiting for some of the new features, please contact us.
We can still give you the current installer, but there are a few "known issues" that some people may see as "show stoppers".
Progress Update Summer 2022
- Details
We think it is time for a progress update and a preview of what you can expect the rest of this year from us.
| When | What |
| End of July 2022 | A new build X# 2.13 for our FOX subscribers. This build will have some changes to the compiler, mostly in the area of the handling of DEFINES and numeric conversions and the /vo4 and /vo11 compiler options. No real new features are planned for the compiler. The runtime contains some fixes for FoxPro code and contains some small enhancements. The VS Integration contains improvements in the formatting and intellisense, Windows Forms editor |
| End September 2022 | We plan to release a new build (most likely called X# 3.0) that is compatible with .Net 5 and beyond. This requires changes to the build system and VS integration and some changes to the compiler. We will also additional compile the X# runtime for .Net 5 and beyond. This build will also no longer be "binary compatible" with X# 2, so new versions of 3rd party components will be needed. Of course we will still support .Net Framework 4.x We also plan to release the first version of the VFP Xporter that takes a VFP project file and converts that to a .Net solution. |
| October 2022 | We hope to meet many of you during our X# summit in Memmingen. And you can still register for this event. We will also present a session on Virtual FoxFest about converting FoxPro apps to .Net. |
| December 2022 | We plan to release the final version of the AnyCpu/Unicode VO Compatible GUI Classes and the AnyCpu/Unicode VO Compatible SQL Classes. A first beta version of the X# SQL RDD is also planned for this month These runtime components will be for FOX subscribers only. |
