#1. Foxpro isn't in the .NET version of Visual Studio. What has it been
replaced with? SQL Server? VB .NET?

#2. Following up on #1: lets say I have a 2 intertwined legacy programs
written in foxpro and mapbasic. Since Foxpro is not (or is it?) being
further developed by MS, I wish to update the legacy progs, possibly
combining them both under one umbrella language, i.e., whatever Foxpro's
replacement is. VB .NET possibly? Anyone have any experience on this front?

Thanks very much for any help!
