>"Hang onto a technology that is obsolete"? Wish it was just that. From what I understood, not only that but you need to learn and code JavaScript:) And then you also need to learn SQL and HTML,CSS... Hmm Silverlight, Linq, EF ... sound to be easier each day:)

Hopefully you have a pretty good grasp of SQL by using it in VFP (if you aren't using it in VFP then you've been doing yourself a very serious disservice for over a decade).

C# isn't that hard to learn for VFP developers. A VFP developer can get the basics of C# very quickly. VB.NET is equally easy (and easier to work with).

Between those 2 you can build winforms in .NET that will do what VFP does now except you can work with much larger databases.

If you want web, ASP.NET is a pain to learn but it gives you a rich set of tools and controls for web development. Some HTML will be needed, but most is handled by the controls. CSS is fairly easy to use and is only there to help speed development.

Javascript can be very useful for asp.net, but you really need to actually write VERY little - the controls handle most of that for you. I can telly you all I know about javascript in less than an hour, but I've been developing asp.net sites for years.

LINQ is nice, EF is nice. Both useful but neither are required.

Silverlight is pretty - apples and automobiles comparison to what you do with VFP though, so it is irrelevant.
