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.
