Hi Joel,

Probably already mentioned here, but I didn't see it. There's a new case study in the latest MSDN flash that refers to FoxPro: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/casestudies/casestudy.asp?CaseStudyID=14755IMHO I wouldn't like to seek any stuff like that again in a Microsoft site. It seemed to me like a "roadmap" for VFP to
anythingelse conversion.
The "message" passed (at least as I perceived it) was that a great app was borning
from a converted VFP system.
Follow some Excerpts that called my attention: (I put the bolds)
-
AM4 was originally written in Microsoft® Visual FoxPro® database development tool.-
there are a handful still using FoxPro tables.-
CDS wanted to replace Visual FoxPro with a recognized and widely accepted platform.-
which made the [Microsoft] .NET Framework a natural choice.-
the .NET Framework. It's a truly incredible toolset.-
ASP.NET allowed us to build a Web service much faster than using our existing tools (existing tools = FoxPro? Yes, I would say)
And finnaly it ends (with a refreshment?)
“We [still?] have a set of Visual FoxPro COM DLLs, which we are using in our .NET application via COM Interop.”Regards,
Fernando
