David, it may be that your work and Jordan's work are like chalk and cheese which is why you have different opinions about the ease of using dbfs in dotNET.
Can you tell us what you're doing with the data- desktop app or browser? Data entry? Data display? Reporting? What sort of data?
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
