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."

Subject: VFP a .NET language

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?
