You can use ODBC connections to use dbf tables in Silverlight, but I've found it to be functional, but a little awkward in the earlier versions .In SL 4 seems like they've made a better effort in providing a wider range of db support than earlier versions. I've never tried scripting out a site like you're describing, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. The whole SL site can be expressed in XAML, which VFP has supported since ( I think ) 2007. So you could probably just stream the Xaml up to templated site and then use your dbf's from there. Cool idea :)

This morning I was thinking about the SliverLight stuff. I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to look into it. I went to the main MS webpage for it this morning - but, you know how that goes - its mostly a sales pitch. It brags about how great the stuff is. I know it also mentions its relation/integration with .Net! But, I guess - the bottom line is - if I have Data in VFP - can I directly use it - via SilverLight - to build a website? I know some people here have used it. Figured I would shoot the question past you all... -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allen Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 2:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VFP and Webpages...
