.Net Frameworks
| Have you been looking for a framework? In FoxPro there are a ton of frameworks out there, I found it really hard to find equivalents in the .Net world. I have listed a few of the frameworks that I found along with some comments. |

StrataFrame - This is a new .NET framework. I am personally using this framework, and love it. With StrataFrame I was productive right away. I think the way that data is handled is VERY intuitive for anyone that is coming from a FoxPro background. That being said, I don't feel that this framework is as "developed" as some of the others out there in terms of features, YET! It is a perfect fit for me being a .NET newbie, I feel like I am getting in on the ground floor and can grow with the framework. I will update my comments the more I use the framework. |

MM .NET Framework - MM .Net s written by Kevin McNeish who has also authored a framework for Visual FoxPro along with books and many articles. This is a very complete and well designed framework. I just wasn't smart enough to really "get it" but I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a framework to take a look for yourself. |
| Iron Speed - I would classify Iron Speed as an application generator. It was really cool and did a LOT of work for you almost like magic. The problem with this framework, for me, is that it is geared towards Web\ASP.Net development and I was looking for a WinForms tool. It also seemed really hard to customize the system functionality. |

| Castle - Castle is an open source project for .net that aspires to simplify the development of enterprise and web applications. Offering a set of tools (working together or independently) and integration with others open source projects, Castle helps you get more done with less code. |

IdeaBlade - A while back when I was looking for Frameworks I couldn't find but 2, now they seem to be getting more and more popular. |
