Well for me, it would depend on the nature of the project. I just started another VFP app. It's a membership tracking application for a tennis club. Works for me.

>>I know VFP, i am not an expert, but i know and i develope a simple Client Server application with SQL server i created visual classes too.
>>3 years ago i started to study and develope some small applications .NET and SQL Server in my spare time
>>What makes me feel bad is after more than 4 years of reading books, forums, and many many hours of programming in VFP , finally in 2006 Microsoft decided to not release more versions of VFP, i felt like my time was wasted
>>
>>In these last weeks i am amazed that in www.codeplex.com or webpages of german users or other companies make it possible not only to program in VFP like always, but we can develope web with silverlight, mobile applications, and in codeplex i foudn a tool very useful that imporve vfp reports, EASILY!!!

>>Considreing that the coming year 2014, will be the last year for supporting VFP fro microsoft, adn considering the efforts wolwide by the users to improve VFPi want to ask you something:
>>
>>It would be a good decision using my knowledge that i have in VFP, to START developing commercial applications for companies, or even develope a VFP framework for my use or use one, because those software can be competitive with oher languages for at least next 10 years?
>>Or better giving more importance in programming with .NET?
