Yeah me too <s>... If I get it to work long enough. It's a bit of a pain in its current demo state.
In the end though - while this tool provides some nice enhancements - I think you're still going to get hampered by some of the COM Interop issues because in essence this tool still uses COM Interop. The big upside here is that you don't have to compile everything you create in .NET as COM object and register it. This tool wraps up these references and makes them more VFP friendlier.
It'll bear out seeing how much of a perf impact these tools have and how stable they are.
I was particularily intrigued by the mention of using .NET windows/form controls on forms but I couldn't get those samples to work unfortunately. There's a grid example, but it just fails when the form runs.
It's too early to tell really but like I said it's an interesting approach...

>>Well I got it to work and the tool looks interesting. I think you hit some good points with the COM wrapper you're creating avoiding some of the common pitfalls that you mention (overloads, event handling, value types)...

How do you expect anybody serious to actually try out your product with a 30 minute timeout? Heck I couldn't even get through looking at the demos in that time...
