Hi Markus

>Well, GDI+ is going away, and will be replaced with Avalon. But Avalon is a more like a successor to WinForms than a replacement. Also, current WinForms technology will work with Avalon controls. So think of it more along the lines of more classes being available...

OK. However, it still leaves the question about how painfull the transition of Winform to Avalon is going to be. According to what I´ve read you´d probably want to rewrite your applications from scratch instead of using or converting Winform technology in Avalon. Is it going to be like a FPW 2.x to VFP 3 conversion ? If so, why even considering Winforms *if* you´re in a comfortable postion you can wait and see how things evolve?

Walter,
