I did it 4 years ago and have never looked back.

Issues you will face.
1) It's not foxpro
2) It doesn't work the way you think is should
3) You force it to act like you did in foxpro
4) Scatter memvar blank is not going to work.
5) The framework is really, did I say REALLY big.

So what to do. I say do it. If I were you two I'd just start to replace a module at a time. Start with the smallest one!

Now for frameworks. They are great, but they are a distraction in the beginning. You have to learn how to pull data, manipulate the heck out of it and save your bacon before you get into the level of framework.

I have owned the Mere Mortals since it's beta days. IUt's real good. Since then would you believe that M$ has a decent one for free? I said M$, so it's not near as good as MM.Net, but it's a whole lot better then slinging all that code on your own.

So you have to look at it as Which language will you adopt. If you already think you know VB6, learn C#.

Hope this helps.
