Hi Claude..

It is important to note that Web Services is not a .Net thing. VFP is good at publishing and consuming web services. There is no question that a lot of VFP code is going to run, and probably should run for quite some time to come. At the same time, new features/apps will need to be created that will need to leverage those services. Web services will bridge that gap between VFP and .Net.

As for the possibility of a VFP .Net, in some ways, you could argue that it is already here, in the form of VB .Net. I have long said that if you take the data-specific parts from the VFP language, you are left with VB. As far as C# is concerned, I have no doubt that many VFP developers will eventually go toward that realm.
