Yeah. Some of the VFP team developers are helping on a project to enhance the data programming features for future .NET programming. We recently showed some demos of this work in .NET to a few VFP MVPs under NDA, and they were totally blown away and impressed to say the least. I don't know when this will be made public information, maybe at the PDC conference later this year.
