>>>>Impressive or Effective, regardless of the term, the goal is User Friendliness of the application. If you think you are good in building user friendly app in VFP, you can build it even better in .NET and in a faster fashion because the latter offers variety of controls to choose from which are not available in VFP. And these controls are not even available as ActiveX. Can you group rows in VFP's grid? Can you view summary of rows in VFPs grid? Certainly not because VFPs grid is very old fashioned. Certainly there are ActiveX available but for sure most of it don't behave as expected because they are not native to VFP. An eye catching GUI is secondary to me. A user friendly app I think is not much on how it looks but how it behave and how the user can produce results without so much clicks.

>>>That sounds like a useful control. Perhaps the goal for some of us may be to use cool .NET controls in VFP forms creating a sort of hybrid tool. How feasible do you think it would be be for an expert VFP/.NET developer be to implement such a graft? Does the way "My" is implemented in Sedna offer some clues?

I preferred spending time with futuristic tools and not something that we knew its nearing the dead end. As far as I know, Sedna offers some integration capabilities with .NET but still it's not worth my attention because I already gained momentum in using other tools which is C#.NET+INFRA+MM.NET which are very powerful combinations.

Infragistics offers awesome UI controls for .NET. It is not an activeX controls but native .NET controls so it behaves like one.
