 With VB.NET read header info from FoxPro DBF files

Using VB.NET I would like to determine the structure of a
foxpro dbf file (field type,length, # of records) then
create SQL tables from this information.  This way I can
control the structure instead of using DTS. Help is
greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

TAndrew, The structure of DBF files is outlined in the "Table File Structure
(.dbc, .dbf, .frx, .lbx, .mnx, .pjx, .scx, .vcx)" topic in the VFP Help.
Here's a URL from MSDN:
