>I'm sure this debate has been had a thousand times, and I've always been secure in our descsion way back in the days of VFP3 and Delphi1 That VFP was the ideal langauge for us.... BUT.....

>I recently chatted to a fellow developer who has a) been to the Foxpro Devcon and had b) come away feeling that anything new he did had to be in .NET because Foxpro was on its way out, maybe not for a year or three but the "writting was on the wall".

>Since I was not at DevCon I can't say how he reached this conclusion, but as we are just about to start a whole new project with no history, should we been looking at .NET instead of VFP?

>I know many of you will say "that depends on the application" but once you start down a track it's not often able to change. Initially this will be a datacentric application on standalone PC's or small networks. But who knows? Web Access?, hand helds? if it's successfull there may be many possibilities and a re-write would not be invisaged in the next 5 years. So is the fox slowing down? should we be in the .NET?
