>> In fact, I remember Ken saying that VB.Net would be a good choice for VFP developers, but the facts are that it's split almost 50/50 for VB and C#. <<

That truly baffles me. I have to think part of the reason is that a few well known, well respected VFP developers went with C#.NET -- Rick Strahl, Kevin McNeish, people like that. And then others who wanted to fly with the eagles followed them, although for most of us (IMO) VB.NET is the more appropriate choice. Just a theory....
