The VB Interop Toolkit definately works with VFP. But you don't need it for ActiveX controls as they "just work" on a VFP form. What the toolkit does is allow you to call VFP code from .NET and vice-versa and even have events in one environment fire code in the other.

If you're wanting to put .NET components on a VFP form (like an ActiveX control), then I think it is your only option. Otherwise, I would steer you towards wwDotNetBridge, which gives you more complete access to the .NET framework without COM wrappers. I believe it will let you open a .NET form in VFP, but you'll want to double-check on that:

>As Tracy said, you could make .NET the host environment for your UI and put VFP code in a COM object. That may be a better choice if you'll be rewriting your entire UI at once. You can host a VFP form in .NET using the SetParent() API, but that's kind of a hack. It depends on who you want to do the driving.
