Johan, I am curios, is the code below standard X#? If so, how do you anticipate the VFP code version to work, a converter or modifications so that it can use standard VFP? And will there be a way to easily update types (i.e. a search for not typed, week typed, etc.) so that we can then choose to specify a type?
Also, VFP uses a lot of classes and forms, mostly built on a UI builder. Will X# be able to convert the VFP classes/forms to code that can then be rendered using the VS form builder? I did notice that you defined dStartas, but didn't use it - not that it would have any effect on the performance. This is not meant to be judgmental, I think what you are doing is great, I am just curious.

A question I am asked a lot by VFP coders is: Do I have to strict type my code in X#? Well, X# allows both lazy declaration and strict declaration. Here is a small benchmark to compare the results: function Start( ) as void local nWeak local nStrongas int local dStartas DateTime System.Console.WriteLine("Starting, non typed")&& The .NET way of "? <Expressions>" dStart :=DateTime.Now for nWeak := 1to 10000000 nop&& A X# way of saying No operating procedures, will not produce a compiler warning message next System.Console.WriteLine("Terminated, non typed, duration " + (DateTime.Now - dStart ):ToString() ) System.Console.WriteLine("Starting, typed") dStart :=DateTime.Now for nStrong := 1to 10000000 nop next System.Console.WriteLine("Terminated, typed, duration " + (DateTime.Now - dStart ):ToString() ) return && Results: && Starting, non typed && Terminated, non typed, duration 00:00:00.6469739 && Starting, typed && Terminated, typed, duration 00:00:00.0210397 && A speed improvement of 30.75 times Hope this is of interest to some.
