Using Microsoft's DLR it is absolutely possible to integrate .NET with VFP. Right now we are concentrating on getting it to work with native VFP code, however we are planning on implementing .NET into this as well so that the language/development tool ends up being very similar to VC++ where managed and unmanaged code can co-exist. So, those looking to do just pure VFP will end up with a greatly enhanced IDE and some additional language features that we are adding and will be able to compile to standard VFP executables/dlls/apps. And, those wishing to use VFP and .NET together will be able to do so as well. The latter will greatly extend the usefulness and future of VFP/VFP Studio and the applications created with it by allowing VFP devs to generate .NET assemblies. The overall goal is to marry the best of both worlds and allow VFP devs to access their beloved VFP runtimes providing applications with unrivaled data performance and access .NET to take advantage of all that is available there as Microsoft moves forward with the CLR and DLR.

We'll be revealing more as we move forward with this.

>I'm a little confused - is this just going to be a fancy editor for VFP or is it going to create code that will be run thru the .NET CLR?
