Clarion.NET Build 7.0.4125 Released

I was pleased this past weekend to find notice of a new update for Clarion.NET (Clarion#) in my email inbox.

Reinstallation of 7.0.4125 went without a hitch.

The past number of months have been hectic with project work so I haven't spent a lot of time putting Clarion.NET through its paces. But I dug up a few applications I'd built with it some months back and lo, they still compiled and ran after I made a few adjustments for syntactical changes introduced to the language since I'd last used Clarion Sharp.

One of the test applications uses three C# dll's that are now part of CHT's tool kit - HNDNETSMTP.DLL, HNDNETZIPPER.DLL and HNDNETFTP.DLL - so, at the same time I also opened up my new Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and built some improvements into the supporting DLLs too. Eventually those DLL's will be built using native Clarion#, once I'm sure the platform is stable, which it certainly appears to be.

Running the two development environments side-by-side, is an interesting experience. Somehow, all .NET languages start to resemble one another after a while. Give or take a couple of curly braces I'd swear that Clarion# and C# were cut from the same cloth, which obviously they are. And Clarion's IDE is a close approximation of Visual Studio.

If you own Clarion .NET - Ken, Paul, Didier, I think you guys do, and I'm sure there are others - let me know if you're interested in a demo app to compile and test. I'll zip up one of these demos and post it for you.

Cheers...
