Visual FoxPro provides a framework; why would I need Visual ProMatrix?
Visual FoxPro introduced what it calls an “application framework” and an “application builder” in VFP 6.0. However, if you are a serious VFP developer, you would be making a serious mistake to base your valuable applications on the native VFP framework. The VFP framework tools are buggy, poorly documented, difficult to modify and very limited in functionality. Again and again, we have heard from VFP developers who unwittingly made the mistake of thinking that they could develop professional applications using the VFP framework tools and classes. You have now been warned. Don’t make the same mistake. If you need to create powerful, stable and easily maintained VFP applications, use Visual ProMatrix.
