Now that I am looking at VFP9, it's the first time Iam seeing CursorAdapters. This is the same thing as the new ObjectDataSource that is in ASP.NET 2.0! The features and capabilities are exactly the same! I know that the .NET ADO engine is the VFP engine, written by VFP developers, but to see how similiar other things are is pretty amazing.

Didn't it come from MS? You make it sound as if .Net is a person who is robbing features from VFP...

It's good to see MS using powerful features demonstrated in Fox in .Net, but don't forget .Net has a lot going for it even without a powerful data-engine, as a developer who became proficient in Fox and then .Net I can see both sides of the coin, and although I was a real Fox-head a few years ago I'm starting to really appreciate the .Net framework, it's not as "crap" as some people make out.
