That's true also. It's also true that .Net has moved a lot toward becoming an infrastructure for a wide variety of languages, some of which could (should one wish to do it) be of a language style similar to VFP. WebMatrix is, if you look at it closely enough, MS's answer to PHP programming: as the features list points out, it even includes a PHP editor, for programming pages in PHP. This is a far cry from C# before .Net 4.0, never mind the dark ages of .Net 1.0.

>>One clue might be the new Database and DynamicRecord classes in Microsoft.Data, that comes with WebMatrix. Basically, it gives you a) an IEnumerable interface and b) strong typing of columns, from c) a connection string and a sql statement. With that as a basis, and awful lot could be done, e.g., creating an ObjectDatasource (providing the missing methods, as one would do with a framework class).

>>It turns out (from a brief Twitter historical search) that Kittyhawk has been in development for more than 2 years, which is itself an interesting piece of information, in that it means that this isn't necessarily something thrown together in a hurry, but rather is a serious product.
