Steve Ellenoff and I were talking the other day about the beauty of TEXTMERGE (TEXT/ENDTEXT) and iirc he indicated that wasn't in DotNet (or earlier versions anyway). I use TEXT/ENDTEXT *HEAVILY* in code often.

Hi VFPers
I have asked this question on foxite too with very little feedback, so I am asking it here too.
If you have to summarize the 1 or 2 features of VFP that you will feel is a step backwards when migrating to .NET or any other platform as a move forwards.
Looking forward to your replies.
Two things that was highlighted on Foxite:
- Macro-compilation
- Evaluate(<script>)
From a X# perspective the FOX release already has support for:
- DBFCDX and readonly access for VFP specific FieldTypes (AutoInc,
etc) with full support planned in the foreseeable future; 2. WITH/ENDWITH, TEXT/ENDTEXT (partially implemented); 3. Macro-compilation; 4. Script engine that can make full use of the .NET framework.
