Hi.
Even so, all talks about losing its "data centric" possibilities are not true. Only that the Xbase interpreter can be built on .NET platform using all platform features instead hard coding all controls and features.

I've seen Quake 2 built on .NET managed code and processor use is optimized compared with native version. So is possible, just that we will never see something like this.

>Instead of that, a VFP.NET compiler will be a more intelligent solution. We will needed a .NET Runtime but We won't needed a VFP runtime anymore.

And who is going to do something like this ? ;-)
Maybe if the source will be opened.
