>So how goes the battle with .NET? Are you opting for VB.NET, C#, or something else? I hammered on VB.NET at first, but for whatever reason I've ended up doing most of my learning and coding for projects in C# (I think the books I read and worked through where better for C#). And now I hear that VB.NET is the one that is taking cues from Foxpro... can't win for losing.

I'm not using VFP9 (or 8) only because I don't want to upgrade Refox, SDT, FoxFix, and the other tools I have bought in the last years and doesn't work over the 7.0 and I don't know if in the next years I'll use VFP or .NET.
The 7.0 do the jobs I have to do, and just because VFP in the last year is not evolved in the web area and in the PocketPC area like VB and C# have done, I'm seriously thinking to switch to VS2005 (which really have a lot of things from VFP).
Now it's about 2 years I'm doing web development, and some months ago I've started a new app under PocketPc which is used to make mobile data-entry for a VFP7 application.
Believe me, I love VFP (I use it since the 2.5 version and before Clipper of course), but let me say that if you develop for the web, for win32, and for the pocketpc, the right choice is to use one language and not two or more.

I have chosen VB mainly for sintax!
I have never liked the C sintax (on my laptop I don't have the keys, and every time I have to use the ALT key plus the Fn key then finally J K L (which is 123), it's crazy!), the ";" at the end of the line (it's like PLI under MVS!!), and so on.
