>C#, Visual Basic, Managed C++, and the scripting languages VBScript and JScript provide access to the Microsoft .NET platform, which includes a common execution engine and a rich class library. The Microsoft .NET platform defines a “Common Language Subset” (CLS), a sort of lingua franca that ensures seamless interoperability between CLS-compliant languages and class libraries. On this page, you'll find articles about various languages that provide access to the .NET platform. "

Exactly. VFP is not a .NET language. It isn't based on the CLS. It doesn't use the common execustion engine (the CLR). It has limited at best access to the rich class library (.NET Framework).
