Hi, one of the experiences that I can tell you is that simply a procedure in VFP that would have 200 lines of code, in .net it could be achieved with about approximately 350 lines, definitively many experts of VFP who have investigated .net2005 this way say it and on my part I ratify it, then the final cost of a project passes of costing 20.000 usd with VFP to approximately 35.000 usd with .Net and doing a relation the utilities is small.
Then in that it divides do I put .net? Easy, for the present it does not come beyond applications for the Internet (not systems engine of a company) and dispositives mobile, at the time I recommend to exclude .net2005 for applications of desktop, but it already it will define every company.

Today in day already almost small companies do not exist, even the shop of the corner has a branch in other parts of the country, and then the dbf not facilities to work with big quantities of information centralized, at the time that this doing MS opposite to this VFP's new need?, exact, this one extending the product to work more closely with big quantities of information and that better than with SQLServer2005.
