.Net does not have it's own database, tables, or index files. You need an external database. Microsoft would like that to be SQL Server, but you can use others.

.Net also does not have it's own way to write programs. Microsoft wants you to use Visual Studio, but you can use Notepad if you want.

Kevin McNeish wrote a book to help VFP developers move to .Net. The entire book is free online at http://foxcentral.net/microsoft/netforvfpdevelopers.htm
