I don't think I knew about them when I needed to trigger events in VFP from .net so I followed Rick's papers which were extremely thorough as well and specific to what I needed to do.

Knee jerk reaction I wld say. I have read that article and found it very good, hence reaction from the author when someone is questioning his knowledge in that area. As a matter of fact only article on the subject I have ever found.
