Hi Stephen;
>
>Our company is currently rewriting our VFP7 application in .NET. While we believe moving to .NET is a good idea for the future of the company, we don't want to entirely drop our VFP experience. Our application has a number of our supporting apps that handle data exchange with other systems, we plan to leave them in VFP.

>My question to you is that are there plans to improve on the communication between Europa and .NET? And is having these 2 languages running side-by-side in the grand scheme? For example, XMLTOCURSOR should create multiple cursors if the originated ADO.NET dataset has multiple datatables (does it do that in VFP8?). I didn't see anything about this in the November newsletter you wrote.

Pardon me for jumping in your thread.. But, please.. Just for curiosity..

I never understood which reasons makes a whole team to quit all of their current investment (knowledge, researches, etc..).. I mean, to makes that kind of change, it is necessary the team's excitement (That's ok, new horizons always do that).. It is necessary money and time (of course)..

My central point is.. to move to dotNet and produces all the "rewrites", a lot of changes (quite expressive) must be justified for everybody (company leaders, team leaders and end-users/developers staff)

Would you mind to share with us.. Where is (in your case) the most expressive reasons ? What was the most important points to decide for other philosofy..


TIA
