Hi Gerard,

I am currently reading the docs and working through the various tutorials provided with the trial package. I am finding it very easly to follow and even though I am not up to speed on dotnet yet, I like the decisions that they have made in creating the framework. It is very comfortable to work with. It is also helping to speed my understanding of C# and dotnet. I believe in another few weeks I should be able to create myself a little project on my own to see how it goes. Very happy with it so far.

Bill

>>Hi Charles,
>>
>>I saw you mentioning Strataframe in another thread. If you don't mind, I would like your impressions on the product. I am making my change to dotnet and am looking for a framework. I have been working with Maxframe for VFP since it was first out and can't imagine taking on a new environment without a good framework. I have been looking at Strataframe, CSLA and the DevExpress eXpressApp frameworks.
>>
>>Since I am fairly new at Dotnet, I plan to start with WPF and Entity Framework for my forms and data so I don't have to learn multiple ways of doing the same thing. The DevExpress product uses both in their product as well as supporting web development. The last I looked, Strataframe didn't have any plans for WPF or Silverlight support, at least not in the near future.

>>I would appreciate any thoughts that you or anyone might have.
