If you are considering moving to apps other than pure client-server, then:

I have been working with C# now for a couple of years, more intensively the last year. I really like it. some things to consider: do you want to add any new features or capabilities that you cannot currently support? do you want to be competitive in the job market? is your product in a mature state and your users will never expect it work over the web or be split into tiers and be accessed by 3rd parties?

You may be fine keeping your app in VFP9 indefinitely.
