Workflow for using wwDotnetBridge to call .NET Components
In this post I'll describe the common workflow I use when I use wwDotnetBridge to check out the .NET code I'm trying to call first in .NET before actually starting to create the FoxPro code. This helps in discovering the features available on the libraries I'm trying to call, but it also validates that I'm using the .NET code directly before I start adding that extra layer of FoxPro abstraction on top of it.
Calling async/await .NET methods with wwDotnetBridge
More and more .NET APIs expose Async only interfaces and it might seem that calling async await code from FoxPro seems like it would be difficult.
