You can take the resulting IL and disaasemble into C# code.
The X#/vfp code can be viewed as syntactic sugar on top of a C# library.
This C# lib is base on the expirience of coding a Clipper lib...
The C# disassembled code is not totally lousy.
Been there, nosied about that
;-)

>Yep. The toher thing to consider - once it is actually finished (if ever) - is just how practical it would actually be in the real world. One of the problems with VFP is that no one wants in, it part because there are so few VFP developers - and it seems to me you would have a similar problem with xsharp. My boss would not be to keen on the idea of moving from one technology that they have diffulty finding help with to another obsucure programming language. At the end of the day it seems that C# plus SQL Server is probably going to be the way to go for now.

>>>This has nothing to do with Python ... but I am interested to see how this goes -- its' bascially a .net verson of VFP. I have not tried it yet and don't know if it's even usable yet.
