Absolutely. I am tired of answering the question about VFP being dead. But I have a more practical interest. I know just enough about C# to know that a higher level implementation could lead to faster development. Sprinkle in a few data centric commands and some easy ways to check for data set state changes (e.g. dirty buffers) and I think we would be good to go.

Donald,

I respect the fact that you made a business decision to stick with Fox, and that you made honest attempts to learn .NET. I also believe you when you say you never set out to bash .NET.

However, I'll say this (and this is not a flame, so please don't take this personally): I don't care if you're the best VFP developer on the planet - three months is not sufficient time to become productive and proficient in C#, ADO.NET, and the .NET Framework. To be honest, had you come up here and said the reverse, that you felt comfortable taking the dive after three months, I would have been a little skeptical.

ADO.NET in particular has far more under the hood than you may realize. It does not have 100% of the functionality of the VFP cursor technology, but it can do far more than is commonly believed. (for instance, you can handle datset state changes).
