Web Connection 5.0 expands on an already powerful and mature Web Application framework for Visual FoxPro. Version 5.0 adds a new Web Control Framework on top of the core Web Connection engine, adding a rich, visual control based approach similar to ASP.NET to FoxPro Web development. Using the rich, event driven control model allows visual design of your pages in Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer (or any visual Html Editor) and writing of pure FoxPro code to handle page events like clicks and selection changes. Get much of the power of ASP.NET, but use pure Visual FoxPro code with FoxPro centric data features! We've created a set of videos to demonstrate the technology so you can see firsthand how quickly you can create powerful Web apps with FoxPro code! Of course Web Connection also still supports more low level Web Development approaches, and stays compatible with previous versions. You can continue to use low level code or templates or any of the many output generation tools that can create HTML, PDF, XML and binary output easily. So what are you waiting for? FoxPro Web Development was never easier than this.
