>So far so good. To be honest, to date, I've only just started building my framework and tools. I like the IDE, love the language (C#), dig the functionality in the .NET classes (with a few glaring exceptions). I miss VFP's form designer though.

I like the IDE too. Speaking of VFP's form designer, the toolbox is a cool addition to 8.0. Only wish that it slid out of the way when not in use.

I think I told you where I stand on this.:-)

>C# is just such an elegant language. I am a bit biased I know, because it looks a lot like Java, which I am already comfortable with.

I agree. I've dabbled a little in Java myself, but don't really care for it. C#, IMO, is much better, but that's me.
