Perhaps you could hammer out a quick VFP proc to parse the xml and create a VB.NET conditional proc commented with the old VFP code for conversion to equivalent VB.NET actions. The flexibility may be gone but if you make it a separate assembly it's easy enough to update as needed.

ROF,L and LOL!!!! The old VFP app is hard-coded. I wanted to data-drive this process in the vb.net app because it seemed like the right thing to do <s>.
