November, 2009 - Number 11
Editorial: Visual FoxPro Strategy at Microsoft [[Ken Levy]] Historical overview of the 15 year evolution and strategy of Visual FoxPro at Microsoft.

VFPX: Control Renamer [[Rick Schummer]] The Control Renamer Builder project headed by long time Visual FoxPro guru Tamar Granor is relatively new to VFPX, but has been around a few years This tool started out as a personal project to help Tamar rename controls in forms developed by other developers so the names of the controls have meaning and followed common programming standards. In this article I hope to show you how this sophisticated builder actually helps me refactor code that I have in forms and VCX-based classes.

Deep Dive: Introduction to GDIPlusX, Part 1 [[Doug Hennig]] GDIPlusX is a VFPX project that exposes GDI+ to VFP applications as a set of VFP class libraries. GDIPlusX makes it easy to add new graphical abilities to your applications, allowing you to provide a fresher and more powerful user interface. This article is the frst in a series that provides an introduction to GDIPlusX, going through the basics of GDI+, looking at the classes in GDIPlusX, and going through various samples of how to use GDIPlusX in VFP applications.

New Ways: Collections instead of Arrays [[Tamar Granor]], PhD Every procedural programming language I used before FoxBase+ offered arrays as a way to hold an ordered collection of information. So when I started learning FoxBase+, its arrays made sense to me. In fact, the very frrst article I ever published in a Fox journal was about arrays.

Best Practices: Programming Visual FoxPro Part VI [[Jim Booth]] In this series of articles we have discussed a wide variety of issues related to the development of high quality software systems. We have investigated methods for achieving effciency in our development efforts and attempting to reduce the risk for errors in our code.

Beauty Studio [[Venelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann]] To make our daily development work easier we have brought many useful little tools to life. In this article in two parts we would like to introduce two of our "V&U Project Tools". The frst part treats the so-called "Beauty Studio".
