After reading Yag's blog entry regarding LINQ, I decided to try my own hand at something similar for Visual FoxPro.

Shamelessly plugging my recent articles in FoxTalk 2.0 and FoxPro Advisor.

I've begun creating a series of videos that I hope will become a valuable traning resource as well as a way to highlight some of the great things about Visual FoxPro.

Creating random passwords and cryptography keys is fairly easy. Here's a Visual FoxPro application to make it even easier.

Another bug fix, this time in the encryption routines for files that were recently added. I believe the FLL is getting very close to being virtually bug free now. But, only time, testing and use will ultimately tell.

I've fixed a couple more bugs and finished the EncryptFile() and DecryptFile() functions. I've also created a bit more documentation for the functions the vfpencryption.fll contains.

I'll be speaking at the Southwest Fox conference this year. I hope a number of you are planning on or considering attending.

Implemented a couple of critical fixes, a new encryption algorithm, and simplified the encryption and decryption functions. You can retrieve the latest download from this blog entry.

Secure license generation is a snap using the new vfpencryption.fll. The example in this blog entry is based on something I saw Phil Fresle do in Visual Basic.

I've added a Hash() function to the VFP Encryption FLL that gives Visual FoxPro developers access to the SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD5, RIPEMD128, and RIPEMD160 hash functions.
