what is foxpro use for?

[shelbytll]

use for developing software?
use for developing web services/application?

Both. Foxpro's strong point is the ability to work with databases. So if you have to work with lots of data it may be your best choice for a development tool. It also works well with high-end data engines like SQL Server or Oracle. So it's a good choice to use as a front-end for such databases.

Since i can use to develop web application does it mean i can use it for my asp coding? if not, how can i blend the both of them together?

What you can do to blend your ASP code to foxpro is create COM in Foxpro, then call the object in ASP.

or you can go to these web sites

http://www.foxweb.com

http://www.west-wind.com

which sell Web Services that turn foxpro into a ASP look alike.

I use Foxweb because it's a tad easier to deploy and use

Here's an interesting link which tells you how to use ASP with VFP 6.0 and below:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q165492

But I believe there's a more direct connection in VFP 7.0

Here's an article I found which may be more what you need.

Hope this gets you started at least.
