The first 'Great New" after VFP9 beta

After the exciting VFP9 beta launched, here is another "great new" about the future of VFP, blogged by Garrett Fitzgerald. The original post by Dave Crozier after he come back from Pragua DevCon.

8. Even now the VFP team are talking about additions to V10 and even
though we asked for the possibility of either "record structures" or a
decent Windows API interface this was met with a "probably not" comment.
On the plus side however, Ken did mention that the next release would
"PROBABLY" have a full interface into .NET with the abiity to call .NET
routines natively so that's a small step forward and gives me faith in
the fact that VFP will remain around for some time - albeit with a
declining developer's base although I still don't know why M$ can't
promote the product a little more - but that's an ogoing gripe which I
won't develop.


It is an another way to integrate VFP and .NET. However, nobody know how effecient is it. It is too early to say it is good or bad. Hope Fox Team will give more info about it soon. I hope it is a good one.
