M & J Software is offering a free tool for Visual FoxPro (VFP) 9 that lets developers create a class library containing a Cursor Adapter subclass for every table in a database. The Cursor Adapter Builder supports VFP, SQL Server, and Oracle sources.
Most of the code used to create the properties and methods for these classes has been extracted into a table to maximize the utility's extensibility, the company says. You can add your own properties and methods to the table, and the builder will add them to your classes.
Because the data sources are also in a table, you can extend the builder to other database sources such as MySQL, DB2, etc., as long as you can establish an ODBC connection to it.
The tool is free, and all source code is included.
The tool was originally built for VFP 8. However, the new version of CA Builder isn't backward-compatible.
