Yes, I can see that a framework that supports VFP developers could help me through the initial learning curve. From what I hear, the learning curve is pretty significant, so that will probably be a significant factor in my decision.

Once I am up to speed with .NET, I hope that I won't need to think in VFP and translate anymore. At that point in time, it will be the capabilities of the framework that count.



>MM because of Kevin's VFP background and DevForce because they target VFP developers will probably give you the highest comfort level. CSLA has a big following, but if something happens to Rocky, will the framework continue to be enhanced? I don't know enough about Stratframe or Deklarit to say anything about them.

So far I have found MM.NET, Strataframe, DevForce, Deklarit and CSLA.NET. The prices range from free to thousands of dollars. Selecting a framework is a big commitment in time and money.
