<t>Hi Phil,<br/>
Good to see you're still around.<br/>
A new project is always a good thing.<br/>
I've no idea about IronPython, so can't help you there.<br/>
So many other possibilities too that have my attention at the moment, like functional programming, AKKA.NET, Masstransit. But those are ...

<r>Two questions:<br/>
<br/>
Is there in X# a null-coalescing operator as in C# the ??
<CODE><s>[code]</s>return source ?? String.Empty;<e>[/code]</e></CODE>
?<br/>
<br/>
Is in X# <CODE><s>[code]</s>iif(source==String.Empty,"is empty","is not empty")<e>[/code]</e></CODE>
the (only) syntax for the C ...

It's good to hear that XSharp functions good with VS2019, other than the setback.
I think I can't temper certain colleagues to try VS2019 out.

I didn't even know that there is this setfloatdelta after 20 years of VO programming....

same here... oh brother... would have saved us a lot of trouble.

if you use [ code ][ i ][/ code ] (without the spaces) you get what you want.

[ i ]test [ /i ] gives: test
[ code ][ i ][ /code ] gives:

You can use the float interpretation of the memory block. As described in the formula. <br/>
you can use the upper and lower part of the numbers as dwords and work from there.<br ...

<r>To whom this may concern:<br/>
If you want to use GetTickCount64() in VO (thanks to Robert):
<CODE><s>[code]</s>function T() as void strict
local mystruct is myint64
local f as float
mystruct.r8 := GetTickCount64()
?
// in a float you could loose data, because e.g. float is signed.
f ...

Nightly (unstable) builds

Can't you use 3 party tools and call them by commandline, like 7 zip?
