TOPIC:

I am preparing to port our VO apps to X#, using the long holiday as my preparation stage.

I am reading the X# Runtime Docs and on "X# Runtime" chapter, I read that "Crypt" is not yet supported.
I have a lot of this in our apps and I already thinking of creating a function that does the same thing.

Anyone?

Rene,
it's not so difficult: Start Xide, make a new X#runtime app, enter "Start.prg" and type ? Crypt("Karl", "Rene") hit F5
No compile error, and you'll see in console: CÜ#ó

So, Docs are not quite up2date

Looks like I will not be missing VO then....
I am enjoying reading X# Runtime Documentations > Examples right now...

Hi Rene,

It's not missing anymore, but due to the different nature of VO and .Net (8-bit vs unicode string), the results will not always be compatible to that of VO. What are you using Crypt() against, is it binary data or text?

Text. I mostly used this to encrypt password and other fields that stores config. Although its uses is superfluous because I already implemented table encryption with ADS. But I keep it there...

Rene,

OK, you should have no issues in X# then. If it's not working as you would expect when you make the port, just please make a post here with details.

I will

What I miss in this discussion is that there is a solution: we had the same issue earlier and Chris solved that by adding the VO compatible CryptRaw() function. We use that one only in X# as otherwise VO crypted data won't decrypt using an X# program.
