As hardware and operating system software continue to advance, the 32-bit architecture of FoxPro is not guaranteed to work with emerging systems.While the conversion of your FoxPro application may not be an immediately pressing problem, it is still prudent to plan ahead. Making plans sooner means having adequate time for redevelopment, testing and deployment for your new solution.“Okay, so, what do I convert to?”Microsoft Visual FoxPro—with its object-oriented data-centric design—really has no equal. There are certainly other programming languages and tools available from Microsoft and others, but none that are exactly like FoxPro.Alternatives to Visual FoxProWhile there is no simple conversion utility to convert your existing FoxPro application to another platform, the good news is that there are many ways to successfully move your FoxPro data to other database formats such as Microsoft SQL Server. The programs and user interface, on the other hand, will have to be redesigned in the new development tool.What We RecommendFoxProConvert recommends converting to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. One of the benefits of .NET is that it is a family of related development technologies and not just an individual language. Another plus is that the .NET technologies are the most popular Microsoft development products which translates to a great resource pool of talented programmers capable of working within that environment.With .NET it is possible to create both traditional desktop applications as well as browser-based applications capable of running on an internet server. Browser-based applications can potentially extend the reach of your application by providing access to a wider geographic area as opposed to your traditional internal office network.
