Where is the evidence? You're bluffing because there is none. In fact I never, never see deliver any evidence at all. Besides myself, various MVPs (e.g, RickS and Cbasoz) here have stated that .NET is a DOG when doing Winforms, esspecially when doing data. I gave you the references and did not respond.

You're trying to bluf your way out of it. But the facts are pretty clear. When doing (local) data, VFP is far superiour to .NET.

So say it clear, that you don't agree with the conclusion of RickS and Cetin, then it pretty much sums up your credibility.
