Ahh.. thanks, I did not know that...

Walter, your best course of action is to stop posting on the topic and start working with it.

You still continue to believe (and it is a belief) that LINQ changes .NET developers' views on how much processing should be done on the server, and you (and others) still want to exaggerate the 'attribution' of VFP to the entire thing.

LINQ is far more about giving developers better (and more uniform) capabilities to query existing objects that they're already bring back from the server (or creating manually)...be it datasets, XML, arrays, objects, etc. Not many people that I talk to are planning to use LINQ to increase the amount of data they bring back from the server.

Those who continue to believe in strong parallels between LINQ and VFP are less likely to 'get it'.

(That is not to say that LINQ has zero influence from VFP - but to listen to some VFP people, you'd think it was the model for LINQ.)
