In VFP9, when a subclass does not define its own
Init, the engine automatically calls the parent class'sInitwith all the arguments passes toCREATEOBJECT(). This is one of the most basic OOP patterns in FoxPro:In XSharp,
createConstructor(XSharpTreeTransformationFox.cs) only generated a constructor for a Fox class when that class itself definedInit(orAddObject/ an existing ctor). Then a subclass had none of these, no constructor was generated at all, so .NET emitted a defalt parameterless constructor callingbase(). Any arguments passed toCREATEOBJECT()where silently dropped, the parent'sInitran with NIL parameters, and properties initialized from those parameters stayed NIL, causing runtime errors.
