Think Outside the Fox-Den!
 

VFPConversion.com brings together a team of experts to create the first web portal dedicated to the adoption of technology in addition to Visual FoxPro, in particular, Visual Studio and SQL Server.

Visual FoxPro is a great tool, but so are Visual Studio (.NET) and SQL Server. If you would like to convert your current VFP project (or parts of it) to Visual Studio (.NET) and/or SQL Server, you have come to the right place. Perhaps you would like to transfer your skills to .NET. Perhaps you would like to add to your toolbox. Perhaps outside influences or the Microsoft VFP "end of life" announcement force you to use .NET and SQL Server over Visual FoxPro.

This site contains various resources to support the FoxPro and VFP communities in enhancing their Visual FoxPro applications and adopt the latest technologies available from Microsoft, or if desired in converting applications from FoxPro to the Microsoft .NET platform. Visual FoxPro is a powerful and flexible tool that's used for many mission-critical applications, however, EPS and our partners realize that many companies running VFP would like to migrate and don't know where to turn for advice. This portal gives developers a place to get help and advice about their migration needs. Additionally, EPS offers a suite of conversion tools that automate the most painstaking areas of conversion from Visual FoxPro to .Net, drastically reducing the hours required. I hope you will find this portal useful. We certainly welcome your feedback and questions on the subject.
