As an ASP.NET developer, I've always wondered how webconnect worked. Can you give a high-level explanation?

As for .Net, I had intentions recently to learn it for a particular module I needed to do (Timesheet on the net with SilverLight), but I had a time constraint and the learning curve was too steep, so we switched to webconnect, because there was no learning curve.

>>I am "working" for free on a Visual FoxPro project; the non-profit corp has no revenue stream, yet. I do it as I can, while studying C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET. I still love to develop with Visual FoxPro and would take a paying-VFP-project at any point. :) Taking VFP jobs might not be career-enhancing, but they're fun anyway.

>>With the above said, I am finding that with .NET, I especially like C# first, ASP.NET 2nd, and VB.NET 4th. So, why did I skip the 3rd place? VB has never been my favorite anything. Okay, I am joking a little, but not much.

>>>Stephane, as you know ,I have made a living from Foxpro since 1986 and the more of you leave Foxpro for something else, to more work I have to support what you guys leave behind. So keep on leaving Foxpro, I'll never retire.
