Re eclipse - i sooo much prefer VS as a dev environ than eclipse, eclipse always seems so bloated and overly complex. If the ability to connect to and dev unibasic inside VS came out of the box i would be a very happy chap indeed.

This does use uniobjects, so you need the rpc port. I actually got BDT working with udt61 (with a technote on the rocket website) and some help from one of their techs. If you get an "Unknown error" message, make sure the account you are trying to connect to exists in the SYS account in the UD.ACCOUNTS file. > Is it worth all this hassle? YES... life without Eclipse is life as a troglodyte. Noooo. Eclipse coming to u2 is not the Second Coming. Its nice, but we have had the ability to use any editor we like for u2 code for ages. Granted, the dictionary view is nice. We are an SB shop, and BDT is not aware of and SB objects, so meh. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _____ No virus found in this message.
