. . . There are new commands and functions like "using" for opening .net classes. . .
A little correction Camil, using opens the namespace.
Much like the "set classlib to" command in VFP.
typing "using" expands automatically to "using namespace".
Also new variable types like TLOCAL (strong typing variable, when declared you know the type and cannot be changed) which can increase dramatically the speed of compiled code.
Indeed so, as I showed in Prague last week, doing a for next loop with LOCAL variables.
the for next had a 5,000,000 itterations. Took 2 seconds.
Then using TLOCAL, increase the 5,000,000 to 500,000,000. . .
Took 2 seconds (easy calc that is, 100 times faster)
And there is also the TPARAMETERS (doing basically the same)
