John,
Thanks for the clarification on the discussion we had on west-wind. I think my contention was that is you use stored procs you wont have these problems (unless you do dynamic stuff in the procs themselves) I put the foot in the mouth when I "dissed" RV's with out proper technical knowledge. FWIW... this is not why I dislike RV's. But that is a discussion I have had with you and others over the years. So I don't really want to re-hash it here.

As for your SQL injection article idea. I thought it was a jab at me more than an offer. Basically we dont publish too many VFP specific articles but if you would like to write an article on SQL injection problems in various development environments: .VFP, VB, .NET you are more than welcome. Send me your e-mail address and an abstract and we'll see what we can do.

As for looking at Paint.NET.... It kind of suprises me that it doesnt run under Win2k. I pretty much have XP now so I'll see if I can dig up a w2k box to try it on. I know there is a C++ module in there that looks for multiple CPU's. I dont know if that is the prob or not.

As for WinForms performance.... you didnt mention that it had to be in the context of a database application. Winforms is either fast enough or it is not. My point was not to show the cool graphics features of .NET but to show that you could build a rich UI that performs well. Whether it is a database application or a graphics package... They all contain listboxes, textboxes, buttons, labels, etc.... Is this not the case ?

Thanks
Rodman
