Microsoft Visual Foxpro 5.0 Professional Product Description
Get more done. Build and debug applications more quickly with the enhanced development environment. An improved editor, all new debugger, and new Visual SourceSafe integration help developers working alone or in teams get the job done in record time. Create ActiveX automation servers.
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 5.0 Professional Benefits
Build database applications quickly using state-of-the-art
object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques. Use ActiveX controls and
Visual FoxPro class libraries to assemble applications from pre-tested
components and quickly build new applications. Create applications that
run faster. Applications run up to 40% faster as a result of improvements
to the database engine and user interface. Forms load and refresh faster
and both local and client/server data are retrieved more quickly. Get
more done. Build and debug applications more quickly with the enhanced
development environment. An improved editor, all new debugger, and new
Visual SourceSafe integration help developers working alone or in teams
get the job done in record time.
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 5.0 Professional Features
Visual FoxPro 5 applications may now be deployed as ActiveX automation servers (formerly known as OLE automation servers). These servers can be called by a variety of front-ends, locally, across a LAN, or on an intranet or the Internet. Create distributed, n-tier applications - Multi-tier applications can centralize business rules while maximizing network resources.
With Visual FoxPro 5.0, you can create middle-tier business rule servers, and build front-ends to middle-tier servers created with other tools.
Integrate applications with a Web server - Visual FoxPro 5.0 includes tools to integrate Visual FoxPro applications with Microsoft Internet Information Server. Create Web-based applications that let users find and update information in Visual FoxPro databases and share data with LAN-based users.
Internet Search Wizard - Quickly create Web searches with the Internet Search Wizard. The Internet Search Wizard creates a search page where users can formulate a query that gets passed to a Visual FoxPro database. Query results are automatically converted to HTML pages. Support mobile and remote users with Offline
Views When users at different locations or on the road need to share data, use the new Offline View features to partition, and then resynchronize multiple changes to your databases. Roll back to a previous version of code or app - Develop with confidence and flexibility using the optional Visual SourceSafe. Save versions of each component and your application as a whole. Then, roll-back to a previous version at any time. Great for developers working alone or in teams.
Coordinate team development with Visual - SourceSafe Multiple developers can work on the same project using the advanced check-in, check-out, merging, branching, and differencing features of Visual SourceSafe. Visual SourceSafe, available separately, is now integrated with Visual FoxPro 5.0.
All new more powerful debugger - The new debugger includes advanced features such as the ability to save and load debugging sessions, a tree-view to inspect all application objects, and complex breakpoint support. Drag and drop is fully enabled among all debugging surfaces. With custom field mapping, create screens faster - Defined at the dat
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 5.0 Professional Improved Features
Increased form performance - With improved object performance,
users can bring up forms more quickly and refresh them faster. By reducing
the memory overhead on many commonly used form controls, Visual FoxPro
enables forms to run 40% faster.
More performance improvements - Visual
FoxPro 5.0 developers may now choose delayed data binding. Useful
for multi-page forms, delayed binding means that forms render and refresh
more quickly, because there is less data being accessed as users navigate
to the record they need.
Improved database engine performance - Visual
FoxPro 5.0 continues its performance leadership with even faster
data retrieval on local data, and improved access to server-based data
such as Microsoft SQL Server.
Choose from more ActiveX controls - Visual
FoxPro 5.0 includes 26 ActiveX controls, and now supports more
third-party controls, including those you create yourself using tools
in Visual Studio 97. ActiveX controls are reusable components that work
with a variety of tools and applications.
More powerful and productive editor - Read code more easily because keywords
are now color-coded using your favorite color scheme. Drag and drop code
segments as easily as you do in your word processor. And go instantly
to a sub-procedure using improved editor navigation. This comes bundled
with hardware.
