I'm also starting an agressive learning curve with C#, but I've found other solutions for extending your VFP skills to the web. I use West-Wind Web Connect, but there are a couple of other web frameworks for VFP as well...

As Claude suggests - make sure there is more than one tool in your toolbox, and use the most appropriate combination for each situation....

It seems to me inevitable that we will need to interact, integrate or otherwise need some knowledge of the .NET platform? If so, it makes sense to me that I start learning slowly now rather than have to cram when all of a sudden I have a project that requires it.
