I would bet you're wrong. When working on developing a better data handling story for .NET, several teams were brought in to discuss it, including the Fox team. After all, who understood data handling better than Fox? Look at the history of LINQ and you'll find references to Team Zorro, which was the FoxPro team.

>LinQ is nothing like VFP's select..... that was only against tables whereas linq can operate against many broader forms. I would also bet that the developers of LinQ never heard of foxpro.
