Blog about the Xojo programming language and IDE
Consider the following code:
dim i64 as Int64 = 1234567 dim i32 as int32 = 7654321 i32 = Int32(i64) // cast i64 = Int64(i32) // cast i32 = Ctype(i64, Int32) // convert i64 = Ctype(i32, Int64) // convert
It all seems reasonable enough. Not useful, but seems reasonable. Only one problem. It won’t compile. Why not? The two casts to int32 and int64 will fail. Now why is that?
Comments closedLast week we kicked of the Xojo Wars community battle with a webinar describing what it is and the prizes you can win. Here’s more information for those that could not attend or have not watched the recording.
Comments closedIn this episode of XojoTalk, Paul talks with Mike Cotrone, owner of Intelligent Visibility, makers of some powerful networking apps that are all created with Xojo.
Comments closedIf you do any work with private/public key cryptography, the addition of the Crypto library last year made it finally possible to create and verify digital signatures as well as encrypt and decrypt data. Using keys with other systems requires a little more work to convert them to and from the PEM format.
Comments closedThanks to some assistance from William Yu and the folks at combit, we now have a sample project that shows you how to use List & Label with Xojo. List & Label is a Windows (.NET-based) reporting tool that can create some sophisticated reports.
Comments closedIn this episode of XojoTalk, Paul talks with Paul Levine, maker of EverWeb, the Mac (and soon Windows) Web site builder.
Comments closedOperator_Lookup and ParamArray are two language features that have been in Xojo for a while now, but most probably don’t know why they were originally added. The need grew out from having to support COM on Windows.
The announcement at XDC 2015 of upcoming Xojo support for Raspberry Pi was greeted with enthusiastic applause. But after the keynote, I had several people come up to me and admit that they did not know what this Raspberry Pi is, so I thought I’d take a moment to give some background.
Xojo already creates 64-bit apps for iOS. Soon, it will also create 64-bit apps for other platforms. I, for one, welcome our new 64-bit Overlords. After all, they’ll be bringing you increased performance and increased memory! Even better, there is not much you’ll have to do to create 64-bit versions of your existing Xojo apps.
UPDATE October 2015: Xojo Builds 64-bit Apps Now
Comments closedWith Xojo 2015 Release 2, most of the new Xojo framework is available for all project types. This includes Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket, which adds support for HTTP 1.1.
