[Versafix-users] Latest commits...

[Russell E. C. <ru...@as...>]

Hi All,

The latest commits to the SVN repository include a couple of big changes:

1. The FIX data dictionaries now use the name of a FIX field as the 
enumeration identifier for an enumeration, rather than the numeric/tag 
identifier that is used in the FPL's FIX repository. In the repository, 
each enumeration that is defined has a numeric identifier, which is 
usually the tag of the FIX field that the enumeration was originally 
developed for. This is all well and good, but looks like hell when you 
try to display the list of enumerations in a GUI, as we are doing in the 
data dictionary editor. The DxBuilder application has been updated to 
make this conversion when generating data dictionaries, and all of the 
dictionaries in SVN have been regenerated in the new format.

2. The FixDxCollection class has been changed so that it is a derivative 
of the .NET collection class, Collection<IFixDxElement> in this case. 
This was done because on further analysis of our needs, we didn't need 
the type-specific maps and accessors that were originally coded in that 
class. The FixDictionary class is currently being modified to reflect 
this change, and we'll commit that code pretty soon.

Also, work is continuing on the FIX data dictionary editor - this should 
be done by Monday if all goes well.


More to come...

Russ
