Ricardo,

>COM components don't have to be rewritten to be Web services. What makes them different to component is something that you don't have to deal with: the underneath plumming. VS.NET and VFP will take care of this for you. Also, the web services toolkit does this also for you today.

>I can get into more detail, but the bottom line is that the component is a web service when it can be called by http rather than through COM. No rewriting necessary.

Sounds good. Thanks for the overview.

>Makes sense? more details or explanation necessary? We should provide a white paper for people to understand this in detail for Beta 1.

Yes, a white paper would be great on this, and on other ways for VFP to play in .NET.

BTW, is it possible for you to join in the UT chat tonight about VFP7? (9PM ET, 6M PT)
