It integrates into the full VS, but itself rather is aimed for application generation by wizards and assistants and templates than for development of larger scale applications. I don’t agree, as this does not give a comparable experience, neither for VFP developers nor newbies. Microsoft rather recommends to take a look at VS Lightswitch 2011. Microsoft doesn't sell VFP anymore, mainly because it would then need to make warranties exceeding that end of support date.
VFP was discontinued in 2007, also VFP is in the last support phase of the Microsoft support lifecycle - called extended support - which ends January 2015. This is still limited to Winforms, WPF or Silverlight are a DotNet exclusive.
The added "Visual" mainly denotes VFP has a visual IDE and supports Windows UI. Before FoxPro was bought by Microsoft and upgraded to Visual Foxpro, there was FoxPro DOS and also UNIX and MAC versions, the DOS version was mainly used, and so UNIX and MAC versions were dropped. Product Description: en-us/vfox pro/defaul t.aspxĪs in many other MS pogramming languages the "Visual" does not denote a visual programming language in the strict meaning of the term, but a visual programming environment with visual form designers.
