Hi

I've been looking at VB.Net over the last few days, and my first little tasks were to try a few data routines.

Is it me, or have we been spoilt with FoxPro, here are my initial impressions whilst creating/running a program to process some information on some FOX DBF's:

  • I have to write at least 5-times as much code as I did in VFP
  • It's so sloooooow, what takes 15 seconds in Fox, takes over a minute in VB.Net - which will mainly be due to using the OLE DB provider, which I can understand, but still, it is rather a dip in performance

    Like I said, I can understand WHY it has to be this way, but I do feel cheated having being made available to some brilliant DB commands in fox, only to have to be brought back down to reality with a different product.

    Otherwise, excellent product, as far as I've used it.

    Anyone else feel this?

    Kev
