>>In the spirit of .NET Interop and possibly as a feature of the "My" class namespace demonstrated in Ken's June 2005 video, I would like to propose support for .NET's String.Format() output - either via a new class or via an enhanced version of the TRANSFORM() function. Ideally (for performance reasons) this capability would be implemented as an extension DLL or via a VFP class library vs. an interop call to the .NET CLR.

It's something like the old masks in C/C++: "My name is: {0}, I'm {1} years old"

IMHO, it would be definitively better and faster to implement the same in VFP (using StrTran and other stuff) than to make Interop calls for that, as you most probably guessed.
