Les Pinter has a good vfp to .net book. You can find it on amazon or pinter.com
I wrote a small program last year in vb.net that ported rememdy help desk files to access and then developed a front end to it and it wasn't that difficult (once I found somebody to ask .net questions of), yet I did run into one date problem that I never resolved when the project ended (forget the exact problem as its been several years now) Also did a little with ASP.net and I believe that the VB.NET was easier to pick up on. Only reason I'm putting my two cents in on this one is because I too was faced with the same problems and I believe the experiences of a newbie will be more pertinent initially although those more experienced will be able to offer a lot more insight in the long run.

Mihaljevic Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: .NET and other languages for a VFP developer Hi all, I've been working in VFP (and earlier versions of the product) for years, but with my company probably being sold this year, I feel it's time to begin educating myself in other languages. So, what does everyone suggest? What's easiest for a VFP person to learn? What languages are most in-demand in marketplace? I'm sure I'll be getting into .NET, but which language within .NET should I focus on? And finally, does anyone have a good suggestion for training materials? Books, DVDs, etc.? I'm gonna see if I can get the boss to spring for some stuff to help me in the inevitable transition. J Thanks very much!
