Looking for Visual Studio walkthrough

Hello,

I have inheritted an XBase++ project, and I would like to work with it in VS2022.
I installed XSharpSetupPublic2.12.0.4.exe

When I create a blank Solution and add some .prg files, they are not syntax-highlighted.

I was hoping to have an option to create an X# Project/Solution, but that wasn't one of the options.

Is there a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get started with a HelloWorld X# project that shows the Intellisense/Etc. available in VS2022?

Thank you,
Art

Art,
first, get you the actual version 2.18. ;-)

Hi Art,

Which template did you use to create the project? The correct one for the XBase++ dialect is the "Xbase++ console application" and in order to find it easily, please enter "X#" in the search edit box (in the "Create new project" dialect where you get a list of templates), this will show you all the X# related templates, so pick the one I mentioned. This should give you proper intellisense and have all default settings suitable for XBase++ compatibility.
