FWIW, West Wind Client Tools also includes wwDotNetBridge which provides similar .NET access services, albeit with different syntax semantics...

>>>A .NET dll cannot be used directly in VFP. You either have to use third party utility like .NET Extender for VFP or read up at http://west-wind.com/articles.aspx on how to use interop.
