Vfp's compatibility with DLL written in C# with Async/Await Asynchronous feature.

[Rajesh Karunakaran]

Dear all,

This is actually a continuation of my post

https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1819297.

However, as the task/requirement is different, I am posting as a new thread.

I wrote (almost) a C# DLL for consuming a Rest API. If I test from C# (visual studio) it works and produces response as expected. However, when converted to DLL and accessed from VFP, I was getting various issues at various stages.

Now, my general query is that, if my DLL has Aynchronous code (Async method with 'Await' keywords), will that be okay with Vfp? generally?

I am trying both RestSharp & HttpClient.

If anyone has any advice/suggestion, kindly share.

Thanks in advance

I haven't tried that, but would expect it to only work halfways. There are asynchronous features VFP supports like an asynchronous SQL Server connection, but the asynchronity always is done outside of VFP.

What bugs - what errorsor what misbehavior - did you encounter? The C# side can of course do anything that's allowed in C#, including await and async.

Chriss,

Thank you for your reply.
Let me work on that further, tweaking on both sides.
I will come back here wit more details.
