Thank you very much, Samuel.

>We wanted to debut this when we achieved Language Parity with the other .NET Languages, but then we decided to hold this a little more until we reach Data Parity with VFP9. So the most important thing is to achieve Data Parity after that we'll release the product. Right know, you can do ASP.NET, Winforms, true Visual Inheritance for VFP Forms and have powerful DataBinding and handling as shown with the support for SQL Passthrough (ODBC and generalizated ADO.NET), Fast Table Layer Access, Dynamic / Strong typing and more.

>So, if you want to do Data Access in .NET, you would like what we have now, and surely when we achieve Data Parity with VFP9 you will get the best Data Story for the .NET World.
>
>We are working to achieve Data Parity with VFP9 in the next couple of updates. This means we are finishing the work in DBCs support, Buffering and Transactions and the few remaining commands related to Data Access. After that we would welcome any help with Testing and specially stress testing the runtime.
>
>And now we welcome any help with testing the current implemented Functions. The hardest part of our work are already done, and after we finish the Data Bits, we will move at full speed to do the remaining, easier bits.

>Hope this answer your questions.

>>This surely looks good, Samuel. I'm impressed. A question:
>>
>>I see several extensions to the VFP-language:
>>- 64-bit table layer
>>- using tables from Oracle,SQL Server "natively"
>>- integration with ASP.NET
>>- Intermixing with C# and VB code
>>to name a few.
>>
>>That is great (even miraculous), but how about the VFP9 language itself? I mean, are you heading for a first commercial release where all (extensions+VFP lang) is available, or do you want to deliver in stages?
>>
>>Next question: Could you indicate when we seriously can help with testing the product? At this moment is seems to develop so fast. (Which is no negative remark BTW.)
>>
>>I must say I follow very closely your endeavours at Etecnologia, and admire the task you've set yourselves. It's incredible.

>>>>Any news?
>>>
>>>We are working in a new update for this month that will bring True Multithreading programming to VFP, this is very important for ASP.NET apps and is a must now that Multicore CPUs are everywhere.
>>>
>>>So you basically will be able to run methods and procedures in the Background and do several tasks at the same time in your app, without resorting to timers. This is the first of a lot of planned enhancements in the Parallelizing / Multithreading front.
>>>
>>>Also in the ASP.NET front, we'll be enabling Fox style data binding to ASP.NET apps here is the sample form_orders.scx automatically converted to an ASP.NET Web Page.
>>>
>>>By the way the logic handling is coded in FoxPro compiled to .NET and the controls are placed inside a VFPPanel, an ASP.NET control derived from Panel, also coded in FoxPro.
>>>
>>>Check;

>>>And more exciting news to be announced later this month.
