>>I do not intend to hammer anyone. We all have our preferences. Unfortunately, Bill Gates' preference obviously isn't Visual FoxPro, in spite of the logic of its superior performance in many areas, especially data handling. .NET is evolving so fast that it doesnt' seem to me to be matured enough yet to use as a database tool; I still favor VFP over .NET even though I think .NET is great. I've had a coupel C# classes and I think it's great. I've seen some huge improvements between the 2003 and 2005 versions of C#.NET. I expect we will see some more, but frankly, those improvements are coming as a result of input by VFP developers who know data. I've never liked VB 6.0 or any of its predecesors for handling databases, as it has always seemed to me to be a painful experience, whereas FoxPro just made sense and was really much easier to use.

>>Visual FoxPro is a dream product; it has the best data handling capabilities of all other products ever on the market. It can be used on the web with some C-code to get it going, but after that, it kicks butt. It certainly towers over .NET even now. I also like .NET because of the intellisense, but there are many complexities now being introduced into .NET that make it difficult to get started into .NET, at least for me. If I were a new programmer in school, I'd have to have daily counseling sessions to get through the mental abyss that .NET presents. Okay, so I am joking a bit here. .NET really takes some getting used to. It isn't where it needs to be in my opinion, but I expect because of VFP's influence, it will be a much better product in 2007's version.
