I don't see any negative attitude towards VFP, in Craig's reply. It simply is a fact for any language that is ported to .NET, you will have to learn .NET - there is no way around that. Learning a new language (like C# or VB) is secondary (with respect to the learning curve) to learning the framework, i.e., what classes are available, when to use what class, etc. Especially data access is done quite different in .NET, but in the case of a hypothetical VFP.NET, you would pressumably have to learn to do it the .NET way.
So, if you want to learn .NET, you can just as well use C#.NET or VB.NET. If you rather keep away from .NET, why, VFP can still be used for many more years, the way it is. They will continue to improve it.
