Andy McFadden b76ca09562 Migrate from VS 2017 CE to 2019
I installed VS 2019 CE, opened the project, and fiddled around a bit.
Everything seems to work, so I'm making the upgrade official.  I
didn't see any problems when I switched back to 2017.

6502bench Source Code Notes

All of the code is written in C# .NET, using the (free to download) Visual Studio Community 2019 IDE as the primary development environment. The user interface uses the WPF API. When installing Visual Studio, be sure to include ".NET Desktop Development".

The Solution file is called "WorkBench.sln" rather than "6502bench.sln" because some things in Visual Studio got weird when it didn't start with a letter.

The code style is closer to what Android uses than "standard" C#. Lines are folded to fit 100 columns.

SourceGen Points of Interest

Places to start...

The main window UI is in WpfGui/MainWindow.xaml[.cs]. Much of the implementation lives in MainController.cs.

The top-level object for the project data is DisasmProject.cs. The Analyze() method drives the code and data analysis process. ApplyChanges() is the heart of the undo/redo system.

Source code generation and assembler execution is routed through AsmGen/AssemblerInfo.cs. If you want to add support for a new cross-assembler, start by adding new entries to the enum and data tables there.

Nothing system-specific is baked into the main application. The SourceGen/RuntimeData directory has the system definitions for the "new project" list, and subdirectories with symbol files and extension scripts. The README file there explains a bit more.
