For this you deserve all the hummers you can get <s>

Keep up the good work. What is in that video is impressive but I would be it is only a small taste of what is to come.

>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

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
