Needless to say, I disagree. Furthermore, to take your logic, why discuss using .NET here at all - if we're discussing developing .NET, why shouldn't that just be in the .NET forum? I would argue that most people in the VFP forum are interested in using both technologies together meaning "the best of both worlds", not the continued arguments for why they should switch to.NET. Even Rod's example is at least using a VFP DBC...

>I swore I wouldn't get involved in another of these threads, but I can't pass up this comment. You can't judge another development platform based on whether or not it works with an outmoded development technology. VFP has its place (I still develop in it) and it is not .net interop. If you want .net, write .net, if you want vfp, write vfp.

I think the more important question is how well vfp will work with it, how developers can re-use their existing VFP investment with things like interop, and is there a place for developers who would still rather code in VFP (interop would again come into play here)...
