John,

>I think the VFP toolbox is both a proof of concept and an aid to those Fox developers who wish to migrate to .NET. It should also be of help to non-Fox developers going to .NET.

?? As in VB programmers for example? That makes sense I suppose - as long as they can duplicate what the VFP toolkit does in VB I suppose. What about other programmers also seeing the power of VFP and then investigating it as well?

IOW, doesn't the door swing both ways here?

>>EXACTLY! And If I don't like the parameters or the order, then I can change that - and if I want to change or enhance functionality - then I can do that - and if I don't need all the functions - then I can take some out - and if I need some others then I can add them - and - wow - I'm not using the "VFP toolbox" anymore! ;-)
