Hi Craig,

> It's there...it just hasn't been shown yet. See Message #1019609

I saw the post you mentioned and thought to myself that Ken and his team definitely have a few tricks up their sleeves. I have no doubt that the .NET team with its 1000 to 1500 team members have some cool stuff in the pipeline. But I still haven't seen or read of anything specific in any of the .NET roadmaps that delivers the VFP package of features.

For me, the key is PACKAGE of features. I'm not hung up on language syntax, but things like a real command window, local cursor/data engine, dynamic code evaluation, built-in report engine, extensible IDE, etc, are critical pieces of the business applications I deliver today (and have been for the past 12 years). When this PACKAGE of features is available in .NET, I'll be much more enthusiastic about this platform. Until then, VFP appears to be the best game in town.
