Foundation Classes for VB.Net

[Jasen]

Hi, I am a PowerBuilder developer but I have been asking to build a
system using VB.Net. I would like to know that is there any ready
built foundation classes for VB.net which is similar to PowerBuilder
Foundation Classes (PFC)?
Thanks in advance.

Not totalls ure if I understand your question, and I'm not a PowerBuilder
developer either, but in general the foundation classes found in other
non-.NET languages "match" the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL).

I'm not sure what those PFC classes are - but, there are about 5000
classes ready to use in the .NET framework... What kind of
functionality are you looking for?

Hi Jason,

I think you can start here reading

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemNet.asp

There is also for this as an Visual.basic extention (however without
controls etc, only functions)

I hope this helps?

For those who is interested in knowing more about PFC..
PFC is a comprehensive set of reusable PowerBuilder objects and
services that can accelerate application development. With PFC's
extensive library of pre-built, pre-tested class objects, you can take
advantage of PowerBuilder's object-oriented capabilities to cut
application development time dramatically.

Anyway, I have found a great site which may provide the same
functionality as PFC. http://genghisgroup.com./

Thank you all very much.
