The API is still evolving rapidly so we consider this release a beta, but we have already developed a C# version of the WPF transformation logic using this API and we have used it with C# to implement several very large multi-feature upgrade solutions.  Additional documentation and samples using the API will be published soon.  Contact us directly if you are interested in being part of the beta-test or discussing how this technology can help you. 

Info

Preview the draft .NET API documentation here.

A sample upgrade program using the API is shown here.  Notice that it use WPF Subsystem logic that is implemented in a C# assembly also available as C# source from Great Migrations.  The example also shows how to load source and edit the source in memory prior to translation.  To use this, API you need to reference gmslAPI.dll from the gmStudio distribution and also make sure you choose Platform Target x86 since the gmBasic engine is presently a 32bit technology.  Contact Great Migrations if you are interested in a 64bit build.
