C# vs. Visual FoxPro

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest

C# is a language that can be used to generate IL programs (applications that
run on the CLR). I don't see how you can compare C# with Foxpro which I
always thought (perhaps wrongly) to be a database thing. In any case this is
the VC++ newsgroup - odd place for C# queries, and definitely the wrong
place for Foxpro questions.

Hi J. Bach,

You haven't said anything about what type of application you will be
developing. It's hard to define pros and cons without more information.
However, here's what Microsoft says about Visual FoxPro:

"With its local cursor engine, tight coupling between language and data, and
powerful features, Visual FoxPro 8.0 is a great tool for building database
solutions of all sizes. Its data-centric, object-oriented language offers
developers a robust set of tools for building database applications for the
desktop, client-server environments, or the Web. Developers will have the
necessary tools to manage data-from organizing tables of information,
running queries, and creating an integrated relational database management
system (DBMS) to programming a fully-developed data management application
for end users.
Visual FoxPro 8.0 includes structured error handling, CursorAdapter class
for universal data access, new auto-increment support for data tables,
Microsoft Windows XP Themes support, new base classes and controls, new GDI+
image support, new event binding for objects, full hierarchical support, new
XML Web services features, updated OLE DB provider, improved development
productivity, and new and improved compatibility with Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET and SQL Server 2000. ...

....XML Web services created with Visual FoxPro 8.0 can be consumed by XML
Web service clients of Visual Studio .NET, and XML Web services created with
Visual Studio .NET and any other standards-based Web service can be consumed
by Visual FoxPro 8.0."
