>So write a chunk of code that lets you d/d stuff onto a VFP form in it's "better" designer that then gets emitted as C# code. It wouldn't be that hard to have a VFP classlib with parallel named classes to the C# classes, and convert the relevant VFP properties to C# properties. Of course you'd want a two-way tool so you'd have to read the C# form and gen it as VFP. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Er, yes, ahem. I think that's an excellent suggestion. (You _don't_ mean me!? *s*)

>Are we going to see you around in April?

I'd love to see my pals who'll be coming thru Seattle, but we'll have to make special plans outside the official festivities.
