Ken, I'm very impressed with MS's approach to this issue.
Please keep telling us- eventually those who enjoy saying VFP has nothing special and dotNET has no faults will have to engage the reality that MS wants to incorporate more VFP features in dotNET. We might get some peace around here!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
