>>> In some ways it seems we are going backwards in the software world. Take Visual Interdev and ASP. After working with VFP, VB and other RAD tools using a text editor or Visual Interdev seemed like a step backwards to dBase II. Code is created by the pound or ream. Is that progress? ASP has many limitations that are real. Enter .NET the solution with problems and the unknown. <<

Please excuse the joke: You mean you did not like the "Debugger" in Visual Interdev 6.0? Now there was a joke! The "Degugger" in Visual Interdev was a Marketing Point of the product! The enjoyable part about that "joke" is that Visual Interdev 6.0 is my main development tool at work. What a person will do for money! :)

I look forward to working with .NET.
