I know of two or three efforts by third parties to write a VFP equivalent in .NET. All failed.
>My question was naive, I must admit. It is asked too much to expect modules built with other tools/languages to be aware of all that vfp-apps are aware of. Having admitted that, I now realize it IS important to be aware of this when people (e.g. of Microsoft) claim that new extensions can be built with other tools/languages. In the case of many (vfp) legacy applications that will imply that new extensions will have to act (e.g. upon a database) asif it were a separate executable. So, it will have NO knowledge of the state of variables and settings. And tables will have to be opened as in a private datasession. I think this is all doable, but it will require some (some?) redesign before it can actually be implemented.
