Jeff,

>At Dev-Con it was indicated that ADO.Net will not be supported in VFP 7. Now from my point of view this is a gaint step backwards for VFP. Ver 5 and 6 moved VFP closer to getting a check mark beside PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS. Now we get slapped back again. Are there ways of working around the problem, you bet. I can think of several ways. It's the idea that here we go again with the VFP can't do that.

What, specifically was named as the technical reason for the limitation, and where did the info come from? Is that same technical reason also true for VB6 and other non-.NET languages who would talk to .NET framework through the COM Interop, as VFP7 would?
