VFP a .NET language

Author: Lew Schwartz

Posted: 2011-04-07 11:59:59   Link

Isn't there an ms web page in which vfp is acknowledged to be an

'official' .net lang? I understand all about the clr, but this issue

has come up again with my management. Anyone remember the link?

The official Microsoft statement on their site is:

"As indicated in prior public statements, Microsoft does not plan to merge Visual FoxPro into Visual Studio .NET, nor are there plans to create a new Visual FoxPro .NET programming language. Visual FoxPro will remain stand-alone Win32 based, and will run on 64-bit Windows in 32-bit compatibility mode. For deploying Visual FoxPro solutions that use components based on Microsoft .NET, Sedna will provide improvements for those components using COM and .NET interoperability... To help developers who currently use or plan to program on the .NET platform, members of the Visual FoxPro team are also working on data programming for the Microsoft .NET platform."

Really? I thought the team was basically disbanded and was working on

other (non-Foxpro) projects?

.NET is a non-FoxPro project, isn't it? <g>

At the time the statement was posted some of the Fox Team was working LINQ. The C++ developers are spread out on the

.NET team working on the various .NET compilers, designers, and tools. YAG is working an internal online system, Randy

Brown retired, Ken Levy is off working on his own company, and the tech support guys still support VFP and other

products including .NET.

Guys some where I thought I remember something about the source code for vfp

was put into some sort of public domain status. Is this my imagination or is

the code available for others to continue development?
