Welcome to  Rick Strahl's West Wind Technologies Web Site. This site is a resource for .NET and FoxPro developers building Web and Enterprise applications. Here you can find a large white paper archive, an active message board and Rick's WebLog.

West Wind Web Connection
Version 5.64spacer October 3rd, 2012
spacer Create Web applications with Visual FoxPro and take advantage of a powerful and proven framework. Version 5 adds a new Web Control Framework on top of the core Web Connection engine, adding a rich, visual and control based approach to FoxPro Web development. Optionally use Visual Studio to layout your controls and HTML with full layout support and Intellisense, but create and debug code using pure FoxPro code in the FoxPro IDE. While the Web Control Framework is new, Web Connection still works and improves upon the classic MVC style mode with new HtmlHelpers and templating of earlier versions. So what are you waiting for? FoxPro Web Development was never easier than this.
