Bill,
The .Net Framework is not like what Fox devs know as a Framework. For example, Fox Express provides base classes, wizards, etc designed to easily create a full application. It does much of the work for you.
The .Net Framework only provides the base classes. There is no application framework.

>I downloaded Visual Studio 2005 Express (for free) from MS, bought a couple of books, one on C# 2005, the other on VB 2005. Both books from Murach so they're good books. I have played around a little with the .Net Framework, just to get a feel for it.
>And I'm wondering, "what does the .Net Framework provide for a programmer that is not already available with VFP 9 + a Framework of your choice?"
