>I got an unbelievably lucky break last week. I was looking for work and touched base with a recent client whose FoxPro DOS I had converted to VFP 9. Not only do they have some work for me, they want me to help convert their VFP apps to .NET. The guy I will report to said the other developer on the conversion will be using VB but I am free to use C#. Not only that, the first one he wants me to do is one I previously converted to VFP, so I don't have to go through that learning curve again. This is perfect for me. I have not gotten anywhere landing a .NET job without any work experience. In this job market when they say they want X years of experience they seem to really mean it.


I will be curious the hear a few details about this "convert their VFP apps to .NET"

What kind of ".Net" implementation / stack are you going with?

As far as:

What UI... WebForms, MVC, Silverlight, or client based using WinForms or WPF?

Any commercial framework planned? MereMortals, StrataFrame, DevExpress XAF, etc.

Any UI component tools planned like DevExpress, Telerik, Infragistics, or any other?

What kind of DAL your going with? ADO.NET, LinqToSql, EF, or some ORM package (which one)? Or, does the DAL already exist and you'll be working against that?
