I dont use hierarchical XML or recordSet for the moment but it's important to know all that. Thank you.

For suggestions, i have one.

When i send a SQL command with ADO, i receive a RecordSet. I know ADO give me a lots of object.command to manage the data inside the RecordSet. But here im a Foxpro programmer. I know all the commands in Foxpro to play with Cursors and my programs managed Cursors and it's very fast.

In Foxpro 6, there is VFPCOM.RSTOCURSOR() give me the possibility to transforme a RS to a Cursor. I dont try it in VFP7, but in MSDN Library, there is 3 articles 1 for the reserved words, and the 2 others for bugs in convertions of types. In VFP7 Help, we have just the reserved words article. It's like something we suppose to know!

I know there is a lots of programmers build there own programme to make the job like Dbf2Rs and Rs2Dbf by Ken R. Levy.

Now Microsoft come with XML and make natives commands like XMLToCursor(), CursorToXML(), XMLUpdateGram(), XMLToObject() and ObjectToXML().

Finaly, my suggestion is not realy around XML stuff. Just give us some fast natives functions like RecordSetToCursor() and CursorToRecordSet(). And please put it in the documentation.

You do it with XML, it's because there is a need? Why you don't do it with RecordSet all those years?

Sorry, a little bit angry ;)

Maybe i miss something,

Explain to me,
