Are you following eTecnologia effort? I bought the .Net Extender, so I am also getting beta versions of their VFP Developer Studio. It's worth $120 just to get a chance to check it out.

Can you believe it? Read a VFP PRG and/or SCX, and compile it to their .NET equivalents? Amazing. (see screenshot link below)

I ran a test on a VFP SCX form running though VFP Developer Studio on the .NET platform, and it runs fine (as far as I can tell from my testing) with these object types:
TextBoxes, Labels, Command Buttons, Listbox, PageFrame, Picture, Checkbox, OptionButon, Shape, RadioButtons, and Container. There are a few more that I did not test.

At the time I did that (Jan 7, 2009) It would not work with a Grid. Maybe it does now, I don't know.

Overall, this is very impressive! Some of the rendering was a little different, as you can see by comparing the two screenshots here:

>I know what you mean. Craig's blog has been inactive for too long. Just when I thought VFP Studio was looking promising it would seem to me that the plug has been pulled. Having this happen after seeing what Craig presented at SWF last year is really disappointing.

>>Well, I'm just wondering about VFP Studio (ala Craig Boyd)? I have reviewed the sessions list that was recently posted for the upcoming Southwest Fox 2009 in October 2009 ( http://www.swfox.net/speakers.aspx ) and I see that there is not a session on VFP Studio, as there was for the last two conferences. Now, I don't know that that means anything, but if there were something new on it, or if it was getting close, I'd think it would be presented there. Craig Boyd is presenting, but no mention of VFP Studio.
