Is Pennsylvania on the border of West Virginia? The challenege was to put together a little GUI with a small footprint (in .NET) so that we could compare it to a similar VFP project.

I wish you the best in Shoemakersville - don't date your relatives!


>Why should he waste valuable time trying to duplicate some bs program that nobody ever heard of, just to demonstrate that it can be done. You're right, VFP is the only way, and the rest of the world's developers using .net to do real world applications are just busy spinning their wheels.

>>You received the challenge a few months back - yet no response. Go to Down Load Section - Download RIO (form, tree, toolbar, textboxes, buttons and data). Make your .NET version of that program. It must look and behave just like RIOP. Post it back as RIO.NET (w runtime attached) - just so we can compare.
>>
>>It has to be runtime because some of us develop and offer eval/share ware from FTP sites for vertical apps. You've had the challenge for several months - wheres the project! I'm beginning to beleive that .NET is not all the songs say it is. Is .NET nothing more than a reason for corporate IT managers to hire a bunches of nameless .NET benchies (cubes out to the end of the horizon [almost to heaven!]) and put powder on their face.

>>Power=Number of employees you have under you in this new born-again-dry-drunk and "insecurity sells" market. Not productivity - but don't worry - MS will have a new Benchie program by the time you start looking for excuses for the state of an undelivered .NET project! At that time you can blame it on the short commings of .NET or those VFP 10 developers that are always bad mouthing you!
>>
>>So show us the power of .NET - convert that little demo app to .NET and you will have a believer! Remember it has to download and install from an FTP site.
>>
>>Now what is your response:
>>1) You can not do that with .NET
>>2) You can but I can't
>>3) JVP told me not to!
>>4) Terrorist alerts prevented me from finishing the project
>>5) Double Secret Fantasies broke my faith!
>>
>>>I heard that you were doing winform stuff with .Net. But I know that's impossible cause several people here have told me that you just can't build a real app with .Net.
>>>
>>>PMFJI, but it's sort of like a variation of Nero fiddling while Rome burned...you've got a bunch of people griping that it can't be done, while another group of people are off doing it.
