One other thing, and I've seen this so very, very often with VFP devs moving to .Net.

Visual Studio is NOT .Net. Visual Studio is simply a fancy editor that happens to be really good tool for .Net developers. .Net is separate from Visual Studio. In fact, it comes from a different team and can (in fact is has) shipped on a different schedule than Visual Studio.

Do not confuse the two.
