And a lot of VFPers who are not yet jumping to .Net bandwagon will immediately jump without thingking. And MS will instantly win the heart of VFPers. This is a serious suggestion not a funny one whom some think that it is.

You can't really translate things like USE/SEEK/SCAN constructions and other typical VFP features. And assuming you use a lot of complex transformations to do it, you'll end up with a flawed model for a .NET application.

Hi Martin,

Actually we are already in the last part of converting our VFP app into C#.Net program and I noticed something obvious: VFP is a lot smarter when it comes to data manipulation.

We still use 9.0 but just to maximize its reporting features which is extremely important in adding some good features that adds value to our current application.
