>Craig, Dorris said she is moving a VFP application to .Net, not that she is re-engineering, so what she will produce in .net will be similar in philosophy. I find it strange, weird (suspicious?) that "lots of things do not carry over" to put it in your terms.

>There is nothing specific that I don't understand. Well that's not true. What I specifically don't understand is that it takes such an excrurciating long time to get it to work and that it replaces a dml (sql) that is widely used. Writing my first SQL inline in foxpro was a WOW experience. If there's anybody out there who was impressed by what he can do with LINQ, let him throw the first link. (hmm must not be the first one to put it like that.).

Are you talking about Linq to Sql specifically or Linq in general (Linq to DataSet, Object, XML, Entities) ?
