Charlie,

When is c# scheduled to be released for real - do you know? How is the performance? How easy will it be for an experienced VFP programmer that has a strong grasp of OOP, biz obj, delegation, etc - but with little C/C++ experience - to make the move?

Its C++ sans manual garbadge collection, multiple inheritance, pointers etc. Doing some work with the tech preview and am very impressed by the results I'm getting. As for data access, I'm still evaluating ADO+, so its too early to tell whether its as flexible as VFP in this regard. If not, I was thinking of replacing ADO+ with VFP data access objects which will run outside the .NET environment in unmanaged mode.

In the future, I predict I'll be using VFP for data access and some data stores and C# for everything else. When they ask what language its in, I'll just say C# and not mention the VFP stuff.
