Need to support web services and find the VFP doesn't handle WS* extensions, complex types, security and more? Do you need to develop an application that can access the same business logic from the web or the local network? Do you need to support message queuing? How about COM+? Maybe you need to create a loosely-coupled Service-Oriented Architecture but find it can't be done in VFP.

Windows Communication Foundation maybe your answer. It is a .Net technology the intended to replace a slew of technologies with a single, easy-to-use API, that allow much of the configuration to be changed at runtime by editing an XML file.

I've posted a new article, Using Windows Communication Foundation with Visual FoxPro on my web site. The article shows how to get started with WCF and then how to COM-enable the .Net code and use it from VFP. Enjoy!
