Not sure what you mean by this statement? VFP doesn't play well with other platforms?? In what way?
>hahahaha. Not ever tool plays well with others. .NET does a great job in attempting to deliver on that line. VFP can't, wont and that will be it's final pox.

Those 20 years have a lot of code and experience going for them. Why do you think they have Ken L. trying to play catch up??

>You seem to be comparing a 20 year old product xBase to a three year old single version product .NET. Version 2005 has allot of improvements. More so then VFP6 did over 3.

You must be talking about .NET here. Most people here(including EPS!) have commented that you typically need more code to write a .NET application because it lacks the functions VFP has..

>.NET is great at the little stuff. Like making a picker dialouge that will showcase images instead of details or plain file names. When you get to the nitty gritty VFP won't ever do it and you only have to roll your own each and every time.
