Thanks Kamal for this info and for your work with VFPToolkit also.
I wonder if it wouldn't be better if VFP team CLEARLY said: "Hey people - direction is VB.NET you can work with VFP and C# but if you will use VFP and VB.NET your road will be more pleasant and we will support you in that direction more that in another"

It is like doing a "SET CLASSLIB to a class in a library". This allows developers to create custom libraries (like the VFPToolkit) and access them as if it were a part of the core language.
