Where is your data going to be contained? In FP did you have a special iteration to pick 10 of type A question and then 10 of Type B Question? The idea of use Table_name in .Net doesn't work. Instead you will ask for a datatable from the data source (SQL Server/Access/XML/DBF) and then perform your logic against that. Think of that like a FP cursor. This will become a reusable section of code for the rest of your days! We all need access to data in everything we do. You can find the Kevin McNeich book on line for free download nowadays .NET for a VFPer is close to that title. www.oakleaf.net I believe was his company site. Anyway you will have to approach your logic differently in .NET to achieve the same goal. You will have a lot more control on .NET on just about everything as compared to VFP, but that takes extra lines of code as well so you may see it as more cumbersome to get the same thing done.
