Hi all,
I'm planning to develop a framework for my development environment. The framework should enable me to automate most of the development process. Please help me with suggesting the directions to go about and things to consider...
Please tell me if there exist any such products....that can be customized to my own needs...
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Markish

I think there is both good and bad advice in it, so read carefully. There are also some .Net books that can help:

Creating your own framework may not be such a good idea, unless you are an OOP expert, have lots of unpaid time to develop it, throw your first try out and start again learning form the first mistakes.
I would recommend to do what many of us did; get a professional OOP Framework. Most, if not all, VFP frameworks, come with full source code and are customizable.
The one I use is Visual MaxFrame Professional, and I can recommend it. I do not have direct experience with the others but many of them are very good too.
Note that the best is to try before you buy. Most have a free download so you can see which one adapts better to your style of coding.
See the Fox Wiki for a good framework comparison.
