VFP and .Net considerations

As you know, we come from a Visual FoxPro development background.

And certainly on the desktop side of things we see little reason to change. When it comes to the web, ASP.Net is our choice. I’m not saying it is the best – we just haven’t had time or inclination to compare and contrast all the alternatives – but it serves us well, and so far it seems to be improving in leaps and bounds. We are particularly excited about some of the features in ASP.Net 2.0 (see my TechEd post).

However, I thought these links were interesting in terms of .Net on the desktop. And here I’m talking about desktop app (as opposed to services or COM objects).
