There's bad news and good news:
The bad news: the vfpoledb driver, while able to be accessed from .Net, isn't capable of multithreading or running on a 64-bit OS.
The good news: you can create/read/write vfp tables using the VFP Compiler for .Net (
www.etecnologia.net), even in it's present state of development. You can write an assembly created in VFP to do the reading and writing, and reference that in your application (along with the runtime assemblies from the Compiler for .Net), and do it "natively." All your limitations go away.

>I've been asking about making a hybrid application using VFP and VB 2008, but there have been some interesting curves in the path. Given that I really want to use the technology in .NET (in particular, LINQ), what would really work would be if I could write .dbf files directly from a completely .NET application, since that's the only reason I need VFP at this point. Are there any libraries available that can do that?
