X# Summit in Memmingen cancelled

: 11 August 2020

Unfortunately we have had to take the decision to cancel our X# summit in Memmingen.
The international health situation has not improved enough and we think that it is not responsible to organize an event under the current conditions.
We will replace the event with a series of online events (most likely 4 afternoons with 2 sessions on each afternoon).
More information about that will follow on this website.

Registered attendees have received an email and will receive a credit invoice for their reservation for the event.

Stay tuned !

Online demo: X# and future .Net versions (.Net Core and .Net 5)

: 07 August 2020

On Thursday August 13 at 16:00 CEST. we'll have an online demo about X# and future .Net versions (.Net Core and .Net 5)
In this session we'll demonstrate:

How does X# compile and run against the various versions of the .Net Framework at this moment?
We'll look at both VS and XIDE.
What will change for .Net Core and .Net 5?
The build system for X# for .Net Core and .Net 5
We'll demo how to create an X# .Net 5 /.Net core app in how to deploy it with its own copy of the runtime and as a single exe.
Hopefully we'll also be able to demo an early version of the VS integration for .Net Core and .Net 5 (not sure yet, fingers crossed )
What code changes are needed to compile for future .Net versions?

The idea of this session is not only to show that it works, but also to explain a bit about the background about building for various .Net versions.

The recording of this session can be found in our Youtube Channel: XSharp Academy

XSharp Cahors 2.5b Public Installer

: 16 July 2020

We have just released the public installer for XSharp Cahors 2.5b
The complete readme with the description of the changes can be found here.
This is the same build as the subscribers build, with the exception that subscribers get a slightly faster compiler, a .Net core version of the compiler and debug versions of the runtime assemblies to aid in tracking errors (not that we have any <g>).

You can download the installer from here (you have to login first):

{rsfiles path="installers/XSharpSetup25bPublic.zip"}

This will be the last public installer that targets Visual Studio 2015.

The next build of X# (2.6 ?) will only work with Visual Studio 2017 and later.
