Hi Walter,

>Replace is not the right word as they still use some FOX code. Further there is a lot to say about this article as others have said (e.g. RickS). For example it does not get quite clear why they did it ? Just a case study ? what exactly were they trying to achieve. It all seems vague to me.

Actually, I thought the reasoning was pretty clear in the case study:

CDS wanted to replace Visual FoxPro with a recognized and widely accepted platform. “Our clients run Microsoft Windows® operating system so the platform had to be Windows-based, and we hoped to Web-enable the product as we move forward. We also wanted to use the latest Microsoft technologies, which made the [Microsoft] .NET Framework a natural choice.”

That's not to say I would make the same decision. We could not afford pay 4 developers for 18 months to rewrite our app.
