Fine with me....main reason I jumped in was become of the line that the "comparison serves little purpose unless to assist dotNETers who want to assert that dotNET is just as good at "data" as VFP!". If you want to drop it, fine, I'm out.Here's what I actually said:
An app that displays and allows editing of subsets of remote data is *easy* in any contemporary development tool and is unlikely to benefit from VFP's local data ability which (as we've discussed before) is VFP's defining feature.
IMHO such a comparison serves little purpose unless to assist dotNETers who want to assert that dotNET is just as good at "data" as VFP!If you want to disagree, I'm perfectly willing to discuss the point I actually made, or any other topic that is relevant to Rod's intention to create a useful comparison.
"... 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
