    Visual FoxPro "Sedna"

    =====================

    Sedna is a collection of libraries, samples and add-ons to Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2
    .
    Please uninstall previous CTPs or Beta from your machine before installing Sedna
    . By default Sedna Setup will install the files onto your disk under the "Micros
    oft Visual FoxPro 9\Sedna" folder.
    This installation contains six components: VistaDialogs4COM, Upsizing Wizard, Da
    ta Explorer, NET4COM and MY for VFP and DDEX for VFP. The following sections des
    cribe these components and provide guidance on how to get started.

    VistaDialogs4COM
    ================
    The VistaDialogs4COM is a collection of COM-visible classes that wrap the functi
    onality provided by the Microsoft VistaBridgeLibrary. VistaDialogs4COM provides
    Visual FoxPro developers access to the Windows Vista TaskDialog and Common Dialo
    gs.
    Setup will install the VistaDialogs4COM assembly, the VistaBridgeLibrary and oth
    er required DLLs, the VistaDialogs4COM source. A sample VFP project demonstratin
    g use of different features of VistaDialogs4COM is also included.
    The VistaDialogs4COM folder contains the following:
    VistaDialogs4COM.dll
    -- DLL for the COM components that wrap VistaBridgeLibra
    ry.
    VistaDialogs4COM
    -- Folder containing the VB.NET source code for VistaDia
    logs4COM
    VFP Sample
    -- Folder containing a VFP sample project that illustrat
    es the use VistaDialogs4COM
    A few additional notes on VistaDialogs4COM:
    VistaLibrary4COM requires Windows Vista. The API used are not available on earli
    er versions of Windows. The VFP Sample folder contains images that show the diff
    erent dialogs and how they differ from the corresponding dialogs in earlier vers
    ions.

    SQL Server Upsizing Wizard


    ==========================
    This is an update to the Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 Upsizing Wizard. The Sedna Upsizi
    ng Wizard will install to the "Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Sedna\UpsizingWizard" f
    older under Program Files. To launch the new wizard run the 'UpsizingWizard.app'
    from this location.
    This update includes:
    * Updated, cleaner look and feel

    * Streamlined, simpler steps


    * Support for bulk insert to improve performance.
    * Allows you to specify the connection as a DBC, a DSN, one of the existing con
    nections or a new connection string.
    * Fields using names with reserved SQL keywords are now delimited.
    * If lQuiet is set to true when calling the wizard, no UI is displayed. It uses
    RAISEEVENT() during the progress of the upsizing so the caller can show progres
    s.
    * Performance improvement when upsizing to Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
    * Trims all Character fields being upsized to Varchar.
    * BlankDateValue property available. It specifies that blank dates should be up
    sized as nulls. (Old behavior was to set them to 01/01/1900).
    * Support for an extension object. This allows developers to hook into every st
    ep of the upsizing process and change the behavior. Another way is to subclass t
    he engine.
    * Support for table names with spaces.
    * UpsizingWizard.APP can be started with default settings (via params) for sour
    ce name and path, target db, and a Boolean indicating if the target database is
    to be created.

    Database Explorer
    =================
    This is an update to the Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 Data Explorer. Setup will install
    the Database Explorer to the "Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Sedna\DataExplorer" fol
    der under Program Files. To launch the new wizard run the 'DataExplorer.app' fro
    m this location.
    This update includes:

    Fixed drag and drop of VFP table from Data Explorer to a form.
    Fixed issue: "Drag/drop of VFP table/view from the Data Explorer to a form do
    not set the RecordSource."
    Fixed issue with free tables not showing their columns when expanding the nod
    Drag and drop operations now respect Field Mapping settings for SQL Server da
    Allows sorting to apply to specific objects, not all.
    Display SQL ShowPlan for local views
    Display ShowPlan information for VFP table/view queries in the query results
    Add Showplan parameter setting to the Options dialog, use in showplan feature
    Context menu item to launch the new UpsizingWizard.

    NET4COM
    =======
    The NET4COM library is a collection of COM classes that wrap a subset of the .NE
    T Framework 2.0. The .NET Framework is a rich collection of namespaces and API t
    hat provides a comprehensive set of functionality that developers can use to bui
    ld applications that run on the .NET platform. While VFP does have a rich librar
    y of API, there are some features that either do not exist in the VFP libraries
    or are harder to use than in the Framework. NET4COM brings together a small subs
    et of the .NET Framework
    a collection of commonly used API that brings to VFP fu
    nctionality that does not exist.

    Setup will install the NET4COM assembly with sample files to disk. Setup will al
    so register the COM components in NET4COM.dll. The NET4COM folder contains the f
    ollowing:
    NET4COM.dll
    mework 2.0.
    Source
    VFPSamples
    VB6Samples
    FFC

    -- The DLL for the COM components that wrap a subset of the .NET Fra
    -----

    Folder containing project file and source code for NET4COM


    Folder containing VFP sample code that uses NET4COM
    Folder containing VB6 sample code that uses NET4COM
    FFC wrappers for NET4COM

    The samples demonstrate use of NET4COM from Visual FoxPro or Visual Basic 6.0.

    MY for VFP
    ==========
    The MY library for Visual FoxPro is similar to NET4COM. MY is implemented native
    ly for Visual FoxPro and like NET4COM exposes commonly used functionality in a h
    ierarchy that is easy to discover and navigate.
    Setup will install the MY library and related files in the "MY" folder under the
    selected install destination. To install MY into Visual FoxPro:
    * Browse to the MY folder
    * Run MY.APP
    The MY folder contains a help file: MY.CHM that describes, setup and usage of MY
    and includes the API reference for the different APIs.

    DDEX for VFP


    ============
    This is the Visual Studio 2005 Extension (Data Designer EXtension) for Visual Fo
    xPro data files. Installing the VFP DDEX Provider also installs the ADO .NET dat
    a provider wrapper over VFPOLEDB.
    DDEX allows Visual Studio to work better with Visual FoxPro data sources. It exp
    oses VFP metadata to the data designers within Visual Studio, thus enabling comm
    on design tasks like dragging and dropping tables from Server Explorer to Visual
    Studio designers.
    Setup will copy the DDEX Provider, a registration utility and source code to "Mi
    crosoft Visual FoxPro 9.0\DDEXProvider" folder.
    Before using, the DDEXProvider must be installed. NOTE that DDEX requires Visual
    Studio 2005 to be installed.
    NOTE: RegDDEX must be run as an Adminstrator. Start the Windows Command Prompt a
    s Administrator.
    To register the DDEXProvider...
    * Change the folder to 'DDEXProvider' under the Sedna folder
    * Run RegDDEX
    To unregister the DDEXProvider...

    * Change the folder to 'DDEXProvider' under the Sedna folder


    * Run RegDDEX /u
    Once registered, Visual FoxPro will appear as one of the data source types that
    can be selected in the Connection Dialog of Visual Studio.
