Kurt and others,
Have you ever looked at X# (XSharp.eu) there is a lot going on there to
give Fox developers a path into .NET....

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

Just remember that when you feed something to a public LLM you share it with
the world.
