Blog from March, 2012

I've set up a page containing a table of C data types and their Clarion equivalents. For the most part this contains the list of types as explained by Carl Barnes in his 2005 ClarionMag article series on compiling C code in Clarion. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's tried this with C8. 

I've added one item to Carl's table: an entry on how to handle "pointer to a pointer" situations, specifically dereferenced cstring pointers. The example comes from John Taylor's article "Embedding The SQLite Engine In Clarion Applications".

SoftVelocity has released Clarion.Net EE Beta Build 9092.

Release Notes:

The T4 template registry has had major performance optimizations.

The LinqToFileProvider has several important fixes, and both the Winform and WebApp templates have many improvements.

  • FEATURE: When opening the file dialog in the window formatter for the first time the dialog will now open to the first directory where the file type would be found via the redirection system
  • FEATURE: When reopening the file dialog in the window formatter the dialog will now open to the last directory where the dialog was opened to
