Rod,

I think this would be a very valuable excercise. Please keep in mind the mindset of those posting against your idea before placing any weight on their comments.

Folks such as Jim N., who I can guarantee has never gone so far as boot up the VS.net IDE. Then you have someone like Terry T. making a comment that the .net market needs to be proped up.

Funny, I just went to Dice.com. Looked up VFP, a handful of openings (8) are displayed. Of which maybe 5 are legitimate VFP openings. One had todays date. Entered C# and received almost 300 hits, of which almost a dozen were from today.
