    From C#, you use ADO.NET, connect to the database that contains the data and query it. There is nothing to it, and it is not related to VFP.

    A SQL Server database is a repository of data. Which client you use to access that data is immaterial to SQL Server. So it is perfectly OK to insert data from a VFP front-end and retrieve it from C# as you want to do.

    If you are unfamiliar with C# and ADO.NET, there are forums here for them where you can ask about the SQLServer OleDB provider in .NET

    Don't know the "other thread" (maybe you should've resumed it here or posted a link to it )

    If I understand you correctly, you type a name in a control in a form in VFP and want to see that in a C# program

    • If it is saved in a table (dbf), you can read it from C# with OleDB (ADO.NET)
    • If saved in an external file (e.g. XML) it is easy to read from C# with XML classes
    • You can also run a VFP routine from C# using COM (if prepared that way) but this may be overkill.

    The title of the other thread is FoxPro and C#..

    anyway, the entered value is stored in a database (SQL). It would be passed on to C# but it is running on a different database.
