Hey there RK - yeah - I TOTALLY Hear ya! In fact, right now - I'm just experimenting. And, as such - I'm just trying to see if I could have a VERY Simple VFP screen design - and have C# code automatically generated.
Thanks also to you Garrett. I just used the SccTextX code to generate a Text file of a VERY Basic Screen in VFP. And, I fed it to CoPilot - and it DID indeed generate C# code. I had one of my co-workers try to run the code - and the 1st time around it was problematic. Why??? Cause it seems that the generated code was WinForms based and not WPF - and here the Dev work is done in WPF. So, I asked CoPilot to generate the code again as WPF based. And, although my coworker had to do a couple small tweaks - it did actually run! Now, RK - I do understand that feeding the screen designs into AI - which is a LLM - is problematic since it's all public access type systems. And, of course, in my case - It was a dummy kind of screen I created as a simple test. If I was able to Prove that I could use AI to successfully convert VFP screens into C#/WPF based code - I would then have to find another way of doing it. I know that there is the Llama software from Meta that allows you to spin up your own local AI system. And, maybe that's the route to go. But, am honestly not sure about that - like, if that's the route to go. I'm also wondering if there are paid subscriptions to AI services, for business usage - that would allow one to use the AI to do things like the conversions I speak of - but NOT actually push our co. VFP code up to the cloud and leave it sitting there. I do have a buddy of mine - who used to work at Meta AND specifically in research and doing AI. I really should bother him this weekend to chat about it. As he may have a better answer for me... Anyway folks - TGIF!!! -K ________________________________ From: ProFox <profox-boun...@leafe.com> on behalf of Richard Kaye <rk...@invaluable.com> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2025 9:31 AM To: profox@leafe.com <profox@leafe.com> Subject: RE: FoxPro, AI & GCode - Oh My...
