Re: RDi Lite

Ooooohhh! I'm going to have to do that - sometimes Ctrl-Space hasn't worked for me, other times it does.

And Ctrl-Hover doesn't seem to work at all - that changed, it seems, to pressing F3 after clicking on the item - am I missing something? (I know, please limit to this context!!!Heh!)

In the latest versions you don't actually need to type Ctl + Space Michael, you can set the preference to have it auto prompt after a defined pause period. I changed my setting to that as soon as it became available.

" it doesn't even have intellisense yet!"

Huh?

+1 (or is that -1?) At any rate, what are you referring to? Try typing
part of something and press Ctrl+Space.

I would further suggest perhaps that you're not comparing apples with
apples. Programming for a PC is a vastly different world than programming
for a business server such as IBM i. Unless you're using either the
Enterprise or Professional editions. The Professional edition ends up
costing wore than RDi after a couple year and the Enterprise edition makes
RDi look like a steal..

You're not comparing apples with apples. It's been a while since I
used VS but even then it was a way more capable IDE than RDi and it
includes all the compilers, build tools, change management
integration etc. etc. required to build complete applications. The
compiler licences for IBM i are chargeable on top of the RDi
licence, which isn't much more than a basic editor built on top of
an open source platform, it doesn't even have intellisense yet! You
get no build tools whatsoever with RDi or with the compiler licences
on the server. Also there is a free route into VS, so anyone can
pick up a copy and start to write working Windows applications.
