>>Why? Everything you can do in VFP can be done in VS.Net and the reverse is contrary. <<

JVP is correct that MS having declared dotNET as "the" way, VFP has to be assessed according to those rules and its abilities considered in dotNET terms. Without CLR membership we have a credibility problem.

A cynic might observe that if you redefine Baseball so that left-handers are no longer allowed to play, many current stars will be relegated to the benches. To present that as a story about the players or their ability seems a bit circular to me, but that's pretty much what's happening in this case.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
