>I've taken to mostly using clrhost (and modifying if necessary) to support .net from VFP. Found this (while old, good information for starting out) helpful (not to mention your white papers are great for getting started - thanks!!!!):

Yes that's exactly what wwDotnetBridge does. It bypasses the regular COM Interop invokation mechanism and instead loads the .NET runtime directly into VFP with a proxy object to allow instantiation of any type (not just those that are marked for COM export - which are very few).

If you're doing COM Interop with .NET from FoxPro you should have a look at wwDotnetBridge - it brings a ton of additional functionality to the table that is not possible with plain COM Interop greatly expanding the reach of what VFP code can access.
