John,
>>If people are serious about assisting VFP'ers to convert, a good start would be an automated "dbc to typed datasource" converter. Hmmmm ... an interesting concept. It would have to take relationships into account and generate DataSets that have multiple DataTables in it to reflect those relationships. It might be a good start (although, no way inclusive off all the DataSets one might need in an app). Probably be good to have one that generates DataSets based on RVs too.
Who knows? Maybe someone has already done that?
