Hi, Arto.

>F.ex. when MS writes "Comparing Visual FoxPro to Other Programming Languages" they are wrong with their own product, or are they?
You perfectly know that VFP is more than a programming language. When the "compare" it to others, they are basically generalizing things. My point is that to port VFP to .NET you need a lot more than to port any other regular programming language, in the sense that to come up with something that resembles VFP they should rebuild Winforms, add a report designer, and change the .NET framework to operate over a local data engine they are not providing, using a data access approach (record based, file-server oriented) that goes in opposite direction to the model they are pushing.
I don't think it would be a good idea.
