This is in relation with the 5 star rate of VFP7 given by 3 folks. Any criteria in rating VFP7 as a product?
With due respect to you guys, I rate VFP7 based on these criteria:
1. XML support 4 with the intro of XML related functions.
2. ActiveX support 2 coolbar, tab dialog, etc. don't work well.
3. Compiler Performance 3 no native compilation support.
4. IDE flexibility 4 with the entry of a lot of stuff.
5. C/S, COM, COM+ Support 5 SQL Passthrough, ADO, Remote Views, etc.
6. API support 3 VB is still no. one.
7. Local Database Reliability 4 CDX maintenance is disgusting. Speed ok.
8. WEB Support 3 without 3rd party tools, VFP is ???? VFP Team should introduce things synonymous to WEB Forms.
9. Backward Compatibility 5 Ok unlike VB.
10. Cross Platform Support 2 No linux, unix support, Delphi and others have.
my .00002 cents worth opinion.
