SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Windows 8 Apps Accessing VFP Data - V & U
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Our existing VFP apps will continue to run for many years. However, more and more customers would like to use Windows 8 devices. We must deal with this situation and offer Windows 8 modern UI apps to our customers. Of course, the existing VFP apps must continue working and the new modern UI apps must work on the same existing company databases, either VFP, SQL Server or other remote databases.=0D=0A=0D=0ASo, we need a development environment for Windows 8 apps that allows access to all existing databases and which is easy to understand for VFP developers. The RAD framework Alvenos (which is available with the conference material for free) comes with project and form templates as well as powerful tools. It is very easy  to set up and configure a modern UI application using the wizard. The generated application has all the base functionality for line of  business applications like retrieving, adding, updating, and deleting records. Additionally it contains functionality to use pick lists, to show reports using its report engine and much more. Forms can be constructed fast and easy just by using a wizard with a few dialogs.
