Nope, I am not trying to disprove your claim because it is entirely valid - I am simply suggesting that different scenarios have different realities.Your posts sounded like rebuttal of the OP's reality... but all you're actually saying is that you used dotNET for something VFP could never have done. The OP was looking at stuff that could be done by either tool, which is what will interest people in this forum.
"... 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
