Hi Victor, I agree and disagree(d) :o)

I used the first Delphi for .net and it was absolutely fantastic. To be fair, I used Delphi in the past for all our communications modules (called from VFP) and the the 'for .net' version was great at that time so I enjoyed the features in Delphi not available in VFP. I haven't looked at it since though, and with all the changes and loss of the golden boy(s), today, I agree with you. I would still disagree on the number of the users though, there are many many overseas and lots of web sites for support and code. There is a new version on the horizon too. If Byron was already very familiar with Delphi (pascal syntax), then it would make sense. However, after the express versions of dotnet from MSFT became available for free, many Delphi developers moved to dotnet. There is so much help available online for dotnet, it doesn't make sense to look at Delphi now. Byron may want to review these:

>>Can somebody tell me if there is any advantage to migrate from vfp9 to delphi. I don´t know nothing about delphi, a customer said me that it is more powerfull and efficient than vfp9.

>I actually looked into this a few weeks ago. The conclusion I finally came to was this would be moving from one oddball to another oddball. Not to many Delphi apps, not to many Delphi programmers. There really isn't a "Delphi.NET" either. Basicly what I figured out is there is zero advantage to doing this. If you're going to migrate from VFP to something else - going to Delphi has zero advantages that I could find. If you *must* migrate from VFP - pick something other than Delphi...if you don't have to migrate, might as well stick with what you got.
