Hi Evan,

One of the things that we want to point out to the community is that, there is not real difference between C# and VB .NET. The VFP Toolkit for .NET is available in both the languages and there is no difference between the two. If you notice the footprint(size) of the DLL in both versions is 57K. This is because they both compile to the exact same MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language).

Also the toolkit provides the exact look and feel of VFP when used from VB .NET. So instead of VFPToolkit.strings.StrTran() in C#, you could simply do StrTran() in VB .NET.

>>>Will Kamal's http://www.foxincsharp.com/ still exist or is it now competely the "Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET"?

>>The evolution here was that Kamal made his .NET library with vFP functions written in C# public domain and then someone thought of selling it and called it foxincsharp.com, but then I told Kamal that instead of him giving to the Fox team at Microsoft for free, we could post it online and get more people using it and then foxincsharp was no longer needed so it no longer exists.

>>I noticed in another thread Evan that you are considering using C# instead of VB .NET. Why are you making this decision?
