6th May 2008 User group Meeting
The Clarion user group meeting held on the 6th of May 2008 was a great success!
Gary James discussed the benefits of creating a class opposed to using routines or large code pieces in the accepted embed point. He also showed all the members how simple it is to create a class and move your code into the class, what to look-out for and all the benefits with sample code created before your eyes. Piece of Cake!
David Swindon (me) discussed how to take advantage of clarion’s built-in support for MSSQL using the auto numbering features for 6.3 to maintain referencial integrity for parent/child forms at time of INSERT. I also showned the effects by creating a sample application along with some productivity features.
I also discussion a common problem new developers to MSSQL experience when pluging in browses and getting the dreaded “ghosting effect” and how easy it is to eliminate it.
At the next user group … we will continue where we left off and do some quick re-capping.
Currently the proposed date is 18th June 2008. Same place.
