It has been fairly quiet on the "Release" front since last Summer.
That does not mean that we have been doing nothing. On the contrary
We are working day and night to prepare the X# 3 release that will support the next version of Dot Net  (.Net 10 and further) and also current and future versions of Visual Studio.
The support for the new SDK style projects inside Visual Studio has proven to be more complicated than we liked / hoped.
Some of you have already tested X# with the new Visual Studio 2026 and discovered that most of it works as expected. However, there are a few issues with this new version.

If you are a subscriber and find a problem with X# 2, then please contact us with a bug report. We will try to resolve the problem and will send you (an) updated DLL(s). We do NOT plan to release a new installer with a new version of X# 2. 

We expect to release the first beta of X# 3 in the first quarter of 2026. As you can imagine, we want to show it at our Summit in February 2026 as well. Maybe not the release version, but at least a very mature beta version.

We have published the preliminary list of speakers, sessions and session schedule for the XSharp Summit in Potsdam, February 2026.

You find the information here

What is not on the list is a session by Peter Stephan d from COMSys. He will demonstrate the tool that his company has created to help convert Visual FoxPro applications from Visual FoxPro to X#.
This will probably be part of the Freak Night sessions.

We are very happy that we can introduce to you our new development team member: Irwin Rodriguez.
Irwin comes from Spain and has a lot of experience with Visual FoxPro. He has also worked with X# in the last years and has written several add-ins for both XIDE and the Visual FoxPro IDE.

His main tasks in the development team will be to help improve our support for the FoxPro dialect.
He will also help in the translation of our documentation to Spanish and will help in creating Video material introducing X# to Spanish developers.

Of course, Irwin will also be joining us at the X# Summit in Potsdam, where he will be doing a session about adding AI to your application.

Irwin will further introduce himself with a forum message.

Introduction.

In February 2026, we are organizing our fourth European conference, following successful events in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

With the help from one of our sponsors, we have found a great location in Potsdam, not far from Berlin.

We will present the current state of the X# development and show how to migrate your apps to XSharp. Furthermore, we will also discuss the internals of X# and how you can extend X#. Finally, we will discuss our future plans, and showcase some work in progress. 

This summit is structured to encourage open and facilitated face-to-face discussions and idea-sharing among all attendees. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, with scheduled lunch and snack breaks.

Location. The event will take place at the following hotel: Kongresshotel Potsdam Am Luftschiffhafen 1 D-14471 Potsdam Germany
