Hi All:

Need to upgrade my desktop application. I see no problem upgrading with VFP 8.0. However, if something like C# creates better desktop applications, I'd like to rewrite it in C#.

Presently, the application is written in VFP7. It is a karaoke application - a karaoke room business as opposed to a karaoke bar.

In a nut shell the below describes the application. There are 3 parts to the application:

1. The application at the front cashier. This controls all the rooms. From this application you allow a room to play karaoke (start and/or stops a room), enter karaoke tune to be played, send messages to an individual room, keeps track of how long a room is reserved for, how many minutes a room has left before their time expires, when the last song is playing, when the last song stops playing ... etc.

2. The application in the rooms. This application is operated via a IR remote control. With this remote control, you can input a song, stop a song, pause, restart, cancel, add vocals, play only background, call the front desk for help, answer a question sent from the front dest (i.e. "did you want to extend your session?").

3. This I think could've been done using VFP dbc, but I used SQL Server 7.0 instead. I had decided to use SQL Server 7.0 because of it's stored procedure power - it was not available in VFP when I started this application.

This whole application is written in VFP (with API's and ADO).

Now, I would like to rewrite this application using the new power of VFP8. Mainly the CursorAdapter and Collections. I feel it would make the applciation easier to maintain and possibly faster.

On the other hand, I've been reading, here, about .NET and it's superiority for internet and/or desktop applications.

Which would be better to use in your opinion.

TIA
