Hello,

We are in a evaluation process for the migration of a application including a EShop based on the FoxPro West Wind Web Store. ( +/- 15 year old so with a lot of personal stuff .. ) and looking to the WW .NET web store

Last update of your .NET web store seems to be from 2014, so ..

  • Is ok to test the demo with Visual Studio 2017 ?
  • Is it the Data Access Layer used is your recent ( last update 2017 ) West Wind .net Toolkit ?
  • If we run Fox and .Net on the same server are we able to share data like "session", "user" .. between FOX and .NET ?

Marcel

The .NET store is rather dated as well. Is a WebForms application and it's based on older business objects (not the ones in the toolkit although similar but using DataSets from original .NET).

That says it still works - I still use it with Visual Studio 2017 and it's reasonably well designed and easy to use and maintain, but it is dated tech.

Compatibilty with Fox data - I have no idea. I discontinued supporting the FoxPro part of years ago, but with table changes that match schemas I suspect it should still work.

If you run the application on the local machine (not a remote) you should be able to get a more descriptive error message.

Alternately you can change the error <customErrors> settings to Off to get the full error message.

Ah ok... thanks.

Yup found a bug in the localization code referencing an invalid localization key. Fixed. Thanks,
