Even with the creation of wrapper utility classes for common EVAL() style Reflection functionality dynamically access COM objects passed to. The Reflection APIs are fairly powerful, but they are rather awkward to use and require a lot of code. In FoxPro terms it’s similar to EVALUATE() functionality albeit with a much more complex API and corresponiding syntax. ![]() NET’s base interface to runtime type discovery and dynamic execution of code without requiring strong typing. NET required the use of messy Reflection code in. Due to limitations in Visual FoxPro’s type library support as well as the dynamic nature of the Visual FoxPro language where few things are or can be described in the form of a COM type library, a lot of useful interaction between FoxPro and. ![]() ![]() NET for FoxPro components is via COM type library exports of Visual FoxPro components. The only way that any strong typing can occur in. One of the biggest problems with COM interop has been that it’s been really difficult to pass dynamic objects from FoxPro to. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot easier with the introduction of dynamic type support in. NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into. ![]() I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with.
