Hi Jordan,

It's the same at my company. I have no problem with .NET and have about as many projects in it as I do VFP, but the majority of new projects we are getting are in VFP. Some of it is because word has spread about the VFP work done at SPS, but mostly I think it's because there lots of .NET programmers and not many VFP. Same reason VB projects have been few and far between... just too many people that know and work in that language. Being in a niche market without a large amount of competitors can have it's advantages. <g>

>>Hilmar,
>>I started learning .NET (C#) about 18 months ago now). I feel very comfortable with C# and I very seldom miss VFP anymore :) (I don't have any active projects in VFP anymore but I still play around with VFP at home just for fun) After accepting data access in .NET (ADO.NET) I have realized that .NET is great.
>>Good luck learning .NET and I am sure you will be comfortable with .NET very fast.

>We have over 10 active projects for VFP and come more. Part of them come from USA, where investors couldn't find VFP programmers which to make applications, because .Net is more modern and all of the programmers are ".NE specialists".
>I am hireing 2 more VFP programmers. With ".Net programmers" I have not problems :-) - all studens, which finish university claim that they are .Net programmers. I suppose that the same is in USA and that is the reason that I received many .Net project which have to be fixed or rewritten if we like to alive them.
