The complete 500 page .NET for Visual FoxPro Developers book written by Kevin McNeish and edited by Cathi Gero
is now online. This book has been made available through the cooperation between Hentzenwerke Publishing,
Microsoft Corporation, and the book author Kevin McNeish.
Visual FoxPro is one of the best Microsoft tools for creating desktop, client-server, and Web applications. However,
it would be a mistake to ignore .NET. Microsoft has put a lot of resources into making .NET a revolutionary
platform for creating both desktop and Internet application software.
If you’re simply curious about what .NET offers, this book provides a strong overview of the .NET Framework and
the C# and Visual Basic .NET languages, helping you to assess these new technologies through the lens of Visual
FoxPro. If you’re already “sold” and are ready to learn specifics about how to use .NET in your software
development projects, this book provides plenty of “how to”, “step-by-step” and “best practices” information that
will help you climb the .NET learning curve and get up and running quickly.

ADO.NET provides an extensive set of .NET classes that facilitate efficient access to data from a large variety of sources, enable sophisticated manipulation and sorting of data, and forms an important framework within which to implement inter-application communication and XML Web Services.
