FILEPRO ON WIKIPEDA!!!

[Tips]

This would be a good point if VFP was at version 8 or below.  VFP 9 has
allowed the usage of a lot of the DotNet stuff (cursor adapters and the
such) into the language, with the current emphasis on .Net & other modules
for VFP... See this cut from the WikiPedia...

Rumors suggesting that Microsoft intends to end support for FoxPro have been
common since Microsoft's acquisition of the product, despite the product
having one of the longest support timeframes for a Microsoft product
(extended support until 2014). VFP 9 was released to manufacturing on
December 17, 2004, and the Fox team is currently working on a project
codenamed Sedna which will be built on top of the VFP9 codebase and consist
mainly of Xbase components that support a number of interoperability
scenarios with various Microsoft technologies including SQL Server 2005,
.NET, WinFX, Windows Vista, and Office 12. The development of version 9 is
ongoing with a service pack that was released December 8, 2005. According to
the Fox team, the current plan "for releasing Service Pack 2 for VFP 9.0
will be sometime in 2007, at the same time or near the same time of the
release Sedna".

In December 2005, VFP broke into the top 20 on TIOBE's Programming Community
Index for the first time.

-Stanley,
-The list below is fantastic... in fact, it is 
-really -the best, clearest and most
un-disagree-with--able list of features I've ever
seen. You and I 
-have
-discussed these very things in the FP Room long and
-often. They are 
-mostly a
-small subset of what FoxPro can do. There is no -
- question that these things
- are great and they would all be great to have in  
- filePro.  However, 
- let's
- consider that many/most of these will not (ever) be 
-available in the fileProas we know it now
(Shortened)
- John

AS a long term foxPro programmer I will take one issue
with using it. Even tho Microsoft has prommised not to
kill it I am still waiting for fox.NET - Until I do I
will keep recomending Vis Studio.NET over the fox-
