Digital Metaphors is currently working on RB for .NET. The project is being approached in phases. The first phase will have the ability to preview and print reports in .NET, while relying on a COM layer to leverage the existing report engine.
RB .NET <----> Page <--> COM/RB VCL Win32
Later phases will port additional subsystems to pure .NET.
The new development is being done in C# using VS, our intention is to support VS and Delphi .NET environments.
Good news! That strategy sounds fine to me. I guess asking about a ball park target date for this is not going to get an answer? Many of us are doing both VCL/Win32 and .Net and are getting to the point of having to look at purchasing a reporting product for .Net. I have already done so, but would love to leverage my experience with RB to .Net, not to mention the ease of porting.
