Is there any document, article, draft sample, etc. on how to create my Base SF classes with my custom changes that can be use in all my SF applications?

I am feeling pretty confident with my SF learning and I am ready to start working on a 2nd SF project, but now I figured out that all the code I am using in my first project can not simply be copied over to the new project and I hate to keep repeating code and process when there should be a much better an efficient way to do this.

I would really appreciate if anybody can take some time to describe this subclass process in order to crate a Base set of SF classes.

hmmm, may be that could be an Enhancement Request   Sorry Trent

P.S.

I know this will be part of the upcoming SF trainning class, but I can really wait, I need to start working on the 2nd SF project ASAP.

I don't know what you mean my an enhancement request as this has nothing to do with the framework as much as it does organizing your application.

This is a topic that we cover in the training class and is broader than the scope of this forum.  We have an entire section that we will cover in training.  Sorry, but this is not something that we will go over in depth here on the forum as this requires explanation and, well...training.

Sure I understand your points and that is one of the reasons I signed up for the training.

What I meant with enhancement request is that as you know I am coming from VFP environment, VFP 3rd party Framework vendors includes blank subclasses in their process of creating a new project which help the developer in a way to just add their changes in one of the provided subclasses, in my case with Visual ProMatrix, they have the following classes:

• The VPM class, this is the one with their source code, which they modify all the time.
• A DEV class which is global to all projects
• And a PRO class with is specific to the current project.

So whenever you create a new VPM project a new set of Pro Classes will be created for you, and the DEV classes will always be in a common path folder for all projects.

Due to my lack of knowledge for the .NET environment, I don't know if this is even possible or feasible to do in .NET and more important in SF.

In my case, I have several VFP projects that must be converted to SF, so I need to know how to handle the above situation in order to be more productive, and if there is any starting point kind of document or draft that will help me get started prior to the training, and from anybody in the forum I would really appreciate it.

This is the first time I have ever had a request for this.  Really, once you see how to do this it is there is no need for empty classes.  In fact, many of the assemblies and classes that you create could and should be used accross all of your projects.  They should be re-usable!

Obviously I understand the point of purchasing training and coming to class and we look forward to having you here.  But this is not something that I want to elaborate on here on the forum because this turns into training on the forum, which is not the intent of the forum.  This would basically require me to take the rest of the day, produce docs, samples, etc. just for this one post.  This is not a feasible request.  Sorry

Trust me, you will see more of this coming from us (VFP-Frameworks users), even if they don't make sense in the .NET world.

That sound pretty good.

Trent, don't  worry about it.  I do understand, and it is not my intention to have a training session in the forum, that is why I asked to anybody in the forum that has done this if they have any documentation or quick steps they could share since I am in the process of creating my 2nd SF project and wanted to reuse some of the code I have done.  If nobody comes forward today, I will simply do what I can to advance this project and wait until the class to cleanup my messy code .

Well, keep this in mind...we used FoxPro (and dealt with VFP frameworks) for 17-18 years...so we have a little insight here too...not to say that more great ideas won't come down the pike
