Scott clarified the TPS-from-other-languages question in .Net.
The TPS and CLA formats are currently under development to be native net assemblies (ie drivers to those formats.)

This would potentially make the formats more portable, and would allow access to the files from C# et al. HOWEVER C# does not have things like “File Structures” so you would need to have a mechanism to duplicate that. In other words it would be possible, but not necessarily easy.

OK Guys most of what Stu wrote here translated well.

I was in a darkened room and trying to type and listen at the same time so sorry for any confusion about anything that was said (esp to Bob Z and Scott who did a great job demoing it all)

Yes we did see a working product not a powerpoint presentation. Yes it looked good. Yes the DCT and App gen was not finished, but it was a working compiler for both products, and the IDE is mostly there.

Im away for the next few days, but any question will be answered as soon as.

Cheers, and thannks to Richard Rose, Bob Z, Scott for the insight, I hope my posting to cw-talk didn’t upset as they say over here “the apple cart”

Bye all

LINKQ Check: http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/linq/
It is IMHO the best thing that MS created since Windows.
Basically means you will be able to do SQL like syntax against any structure.
eg:
Names = FROM MyQueue SELECT MyQueue.FirstName WHERE MyQueue.Id > 20
after this Names will be a new collection of data that will contain one column with the data form the other filtered queue.
The source can be almost any data and you can update the source too.

An explanation on this point:

* Because of how asp.NET works you donâ€™t need a special IP to support it, you just distribute the DLLâ€™s in a bin dir on your page

>Clarion.Net support all ASP.Net deployment strategies.
eg: aspx page with embeded code, aspx page with code in other cln file (code behind), compiled aspx and code behind files, aspx and compiled clarion dll.
When source code is deployed the asp.net compiler will compile the clarion code on the fly (same as C# & VB.Net)

Also Clarion.Net is able to Create and Consume .Net WebService.
