  • Solutions Samples
    The Solutions sample contains many examples of useful things you can do using Microsoft Visual FoxPro.
  • Sample Class Libraries
    The Microsoft Visual FoxPro sample class library provides encapsulated functionality that you can add to your applications easily.
  • Tasmanian Traders Sample
    The Tasmanian Traders sample is an example of an integrated Microsoft Visual FoxPro application. The application is an order entry system for a fictional import and export company that sells specialty foods from around the world.
  • Client/Server Sample
    The Client/Server sample illustrates some of the features that make Microsoft Visual FoxPro an ideal front-end development tool for client/server applications.
  • FoxISAPI Automation Server Samples
    Visual FoxPro includes an ISAPI extension called Foxisapi.dll that creates an instance of a Visual FoxPro automation server and then calls a method on that server that returns HTML. The FoxISAPI extension makes it possible for you to access Visual FoxPro custom Automation servers from any ISAPI supported Web server, such as Microsoft Internet Information Server and Microsoft Personal Web Server.
  • Gopher Automation Server Sample
    This example simulates a smart search business object, which locates a customer that might be contained in one of many different databases. This makes it possible for you to use Visual FoxPro in a three-tiered model where user services are not tightly bound to data services, as is the case in many of today's client-server environments.
  • Pool Manager: An Automation Server Sample
    In this example, job processing can be handled by a remote computer. This makes it possible for you to continue working, because other resources handle all the work.
  • COM+ Samples
