We cannot forget 3 lines VFP code = many, many lines of .NET code.

>>By far, VFP is with not discussion a better tool for desktop apps (except than Delphi 8 .NET, the only tool capable for build cross 32bits/.NET app that also are fast), also .NET is so diferent to VFP that that meaning a full rework (except the DB). But .NET is the future and is very clear that only .NET can be consider by MS "first citizen" by next release.

>>So, if your product requiere a large amount of work, then move .NET can have a little sense, but is more a in-house solution or deployed limited, then leave it in VFP.

>>But in the end, you must take in account simply facts: .NET is slow in desktop, next release of .NET for desktop in next OS is ANOTHER beast (= rewrite actual winform, if want leverage the plataform, because winform is "deprecated" because AVALON) and this is not the bad thing(because a a kind of upgrade path exist): Next os requiere a huge upgrade of machines. So take in consideration the kind of clients that you have and learn more about the next big .net things...
