Good point.

Last year (2003) in April, Richard Stanton demonstrated at the Seattle Foxpro User Group a wrapper class that allowed VFP to call .Net classes and other parts of the framework. So it goes to prove that the .Net framework and components are not entire inaccessable to VFP. He did state that the this class (called ".NET Wrapper for Fox") would be avaliable for download. But I have not seen the download link as of yet.
