03/27/2012
West Wind Technologies has released version 5.62 of their Web Development framework for Visual FoxPro. Web Connecton makes it easy to build Web, RIA and distributed applications with Visual FoxPro using pure Foxo code within the Visual FoxPro IDE while optionally supporting design time integration with Visual Studio. Version 5.62 is mostly a maintenance release with many small bug fixes and performance improvements, but it also adds a handful of useful new features and works around some limitations of existing functionality. As always Web Connection 5.62 is available as shareware to try for free and it's a free update for registered users of version 5.50 and higher.
