For what it is worth, you may want to look at at a short tutorial I set up on how to create a relatively simple data bound form in VFP and immediately turn it into .NET with eTecnologia's compiler. You can see it here:

http://groups.google.com/group/vfpnet-compiler-community-support-group/web/create-a-databound-vfp-net-form?&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fvfpnet-compiler-community-support-group%2Fweb%2Fcreate-a-databound-vfp-net-form%3Fmsg%3Dns

It's coming along, as you can see.
