1) Correct
2) Correct
3) If you want to do .NET programming, you will need to use Visual Studio and not Visual FoxPro. Visual Studio is Microsoft's strategic developer tool. But Visual FoxPro 8.0 is now available for data-centric application development and is now supported through 2008 or 2013 with extended support. Visual FoxPro 9.0 will release late this year, and there will be product support for version 9.0 ten years after it is released (5 years standard, additional 5 years extended support).
