With all due respect you said Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 are the next generation. I think you should probably focus more on catching Visual Studio up to the VFP generation of data access technology before concerning yourself with next generation technology. Visual Studio data access is a complete abortion even with linq it fails the N-TIER test without coding out helper objects thanks to the data context. Moreover tasks we could complete in 1 or 2 lines of VFP code requires 100's in C# dont believe me trying copying a dataset out to excel sorry the xml method of the dataset doesn't work with older versions of excel. I don't get what is so hard about including a true data centric library as part of Visual Studio instead of trying to reinventing the wheel. MSFT has been trying this for years and still can't come ANYWHERE close to the performance and line per code that foxpro could deliver. This is just spin and is getting old already when is enough enough!
