Vulcan .Net and VO 2.8
in [Visual Objects]

From: Geoff Schaller on 23 Sep 2006 09:42 All fair comment. (however you should have called me on your SQL conversions <g>. Our classes allow us to run DBF simultaneously with SQL for testing purposes and of course code validation purposes) It will probably come down to cost. An effort is involved no matter which direction is taken. Whether Vulcan provides a positive cost benefit will probably depend on the code base and the conversion difficulties (if any). I just don't see the need to pull code into Vulcan unless it truly is easy. We'll see. You are more optimistic than I am. Geoff

You are more optimistic than > I am. Yes I think that is the big difference between our points of view, but I do have the advantage when trying to see into the future that I have been working with more recent Vulcan builds than you have and I have a lot more experience with .NET.

It is a good sign of low self esteme around here. I'm not a hyporcrite. I have said VO is a sinking ship for the last 4 years. Nothing has changed. I still think it is sinking. More rats are leaving every day. I live what I believe and left VO years ago. Take a chill pill.

This is truly a waste of breath. And that is exactly what it will be usefull for. For the time that is needed to bring over the entire codebase from VO to Vulcan... I agree with you that this is something that you woudln't want to do for years. It is part of the migration strategy... Patrick |
