Typing C# code

Overview

You have the ability to type C# code in the WINDEV applications (Windows applications and components, .NET assemblies).

This allows you to create global procedures in C# code.

How to create a procedure in C# code?

To type the code of a global procedure in C# code:

Create a new global procedure (via "New global procedure" from the popup menu of sets of procedures in the "Project explorer" pane). Specify the name of this procedure.
Caution: the procedure name must contain no accented characters.

Remarks:

To go back to WLanguage code, all you have to do is click "C#" in the procedure bar.
The name of C# procedure must contain no accented character. Otherwise, the accented characters will be deleted when switching to C# code.

Adding specific C# classes

You have the ability to include C# classes by adding ".cs" source files into the list of project elements:
