The current version of our application is in VFP. The next major release will be in .Net. Once piece that is coming up in the migration has me concerned, and I thought I would ask the experts.

Our data is stored (in both versions) in SQL. We do some documentation that get turned into a PDF document. In our current version, we use the FileToStr() function to store that data in the database in a queue. We then have an interface process that runs (also in VFP) that cycles on a timed bases, checks for any records in the queue that haven't been sent. It then uses the STRTOFILE() function to recreate that PDF and transfer to an external system.

Our interface module will probably be staying in VFP after the main application has been converted to .NET. Okay, so my question is,

1. Is there a function in .NET (C#) that works like the FileToStr?
2. If so, will VFP StrToFile function be able to read that string value created in C# and still create the PDF?

Thanks for you in site.
