Wyvnd,
Well no-one confirmed it officially but that is the aim. I guess Ken
will fill everyone in on the progress of this "addition". I too wait for
it in anticipation.
We actually asked for "record structures" as per Pascal/ VB (a little)
etc but were told that this would not be possible - a pity I think as
interfacing with outside Active-X components and the Win API is a real
pain in VFP and always results in the "trial and error" approach - at
least as far as I am concerned.
The M$ approach is obviously to get rid of any calls to the API as they
break the rule of being protected/safe etc. With a little bit of
prodding though it was let slip that the aim is to interface with .NET
via the appropriate calls/interface actually within VFP, but NOT to
include .NET features directly within VFP.
I hope it wasn't just the beer talking!!!!
I can't wait to find out.

Wow! A full interface to .Net sounds terrific! Do you have some more
details
on that?
Best regards,
Eyvind.
