general....why c#.net

[oakpark5]

I have a general question. We have decided to build a new customer relationship management/sales order entry program. We all agree on the problems and where we want to be.....but, we are debating what to develop in. We currently use Visual FoxPro 5,8 and will probably upgrade to 9. We recently decided to switch to SQL server and I have been pushing to use c#.net.

I'm trying to find some compelling and substantial reasons to why we should should use c#.net over visual foxpro. Though I dont think foxpro is going to live much longer, I've been trying to find info on speed, memory management, and development time. If anyone has any information or reasons to why c# is better or foxpro is better, your opinions and comments will be appreciated.

AS you know C# is a new programing language made in order to work using .Net technology.

Other programing languages versions have been patched and patched in order to evolve or to be functional to the newest teks.

Nowadays whatever you can do in a language is also do-able in other laguages like C#, c++, delphi, etc etc.

so, what you have to do is to choose the sintax that is easier for you.

Well that's my opinion

C# can be used to write nearly any type of application, one of its most important is the component.
Component - based programming is so integral C# that is is sometime referred to as a component-oriented language.
The C# and the .NET Framework were designed with components in mind.
I think C# cannot be compared with Foxpro.
You talk about switching to SQL and If I am looking in the future, how SQL 2005 is built with .NET, I suggest C#.
