This update to the VFPCompression FLL provides a number of fixes, the ability to use UNC pathing, and user-defined callbacks for hooking into the internal events of the FLL.

A blog entry containing a 15 minute screencast that highlights some of the possibilities that exist for extending Visual FoxPro's baseclasses and enhancing some of the IDE designers.

Based on a community member's suggestion I've updated the vfpcompression.fll to include the ability to password protect zip files and open password protected zip files.

I created a COM-visible assembly that allows C# and VB.NET code to be run directly from a Visual FoxPro application. You can write the code directly in your VFP application thanks to TEXT/ENDTEXT and the VfpDotNet.dll.

Based on user requests I have added new CRC functions as well as a function that allows Hashes to be generated for the current record in a table.

Just a few things regarding Visual FoxPro, Sedna, Windows Desktop Search, Windows RSS Platform, new Vista dialogs and more...

I used .NET Interop to create an ActiveX control that can be used to host a XAML UserControl in COM-aware languages such as Visual FoxPro and Visual Basic. A few examples are provided of XAML controls and animation being run in a Visual FoxPro form.

The Visual FoxPro extended MAPI FLL gets another facelift. This update adds additional useful functions to the library while maintaining backward compatibility with existing codebase that utilizes the previous two versions.

I'll be speaking at the Southwest Fox 2007 conference. Hope to see you there.

Scarlett, the announcement, work, and RAPI. It's good to be back.
