I remember there was some hangup with getting signed up. I think the license kicked in near the end of April. I talked to someone today about the potential of future employment. It would involve VB.net. So a good time to take a look at what I won.
>That's about a $1000 goodie. You might want to check, though, to make sure they didn't start the license last April so you get a whole year.

>>Dang. I guess I got some work I should be doing. I won a Infragistics license at the user group last April. But haven't really done too much with it.

>>>I'm impressed that with Infragistics, DevExpress etc and .net vs OCX controls in VFP you actually get the idea these have been tested and are expected to work <g>

But I am designing exclusively against SQL Server backends and developing my .net skills as fast as I can. I hope to be able to continue to extend these apps using .net where appropriate for web, pda etc. In some cases I'll convert my vfp middle tier to COM and integrate it into a .net solution that will use stuff like Infragistics on the front end.
