I worked for a company that produced Real Estate software for the commercial side of things.  We had a national client that said they were leaving our product to develop a new .NET solution with another company.

They returned after 1.5 years and after spending $2.1M.  They started asking us for enhancements again. Ouch.

I'm figure throwing away a working system *may* work, but most likely it's an expensive lesson to someone.

Kevin,

At our user group we were told by a Microsoft representative (well known to
the Fox community) that Dell was throwing away all their internal
applications **sight unseen** to rewrite them in the beta version of .NET
1.0.

I wonder how that turned out?

For 20 years now, Microsoft has been telling me that I've been developing
with an inferior tool and that .NET is better.  Is it ready now?<<

I think I'll stick with Foxpro and now Xojo for developing business
solutions.

I don't hate .NET.  I'm just going to continue to ignore it.

It has morphed from the .NET you all hated so much 15 years ago.  They
show
working in Chrome and not Bing.

the beginning goes over NuGet if you are unfamiliar with posting packages
to it.
