Does anybody have any experience with this? Is it robust and reliable?
Thanks

What do you expect from a NET Class-library from 2002 ?

Hi Juergen
Well I was thinking it would be backwards compatible ...

I've used it a little bit - what I used seemed solid but a lot of it has been rendered less useful after 16 years of developments in the .NET framework. For example:
"Functions like STRTOFILE() convert a string to a file in only one line of code. "
Well, these days you can:
File.WriteAllText(@"c:\temp\myfile.txt", @"Some text.");
Thanks for the feedback Alan

... so give it, say, another 16 years and it could have caught up with Foxpro <g>
The main usecase for the toolkit is replicating / packaging classic VFP functions into object calls.
If you're an "oldfashioned" FoxPro guy, you're used to commands and functions and you know them in and out. Thus you're tempted to have the same "ease of use" with NET. That's absolutely ok, but later on you will notice that the "real" NET way to deal with objects and their methods is notable more flexible.
wOOdy
