R – Visual FoxPro and VS2008 do not show all DBF records. A separate build does

Load up your list of FoxPro files in an array/list then call the ConvertDbf on each to convert them from FoxPro to csv files. See the c# console application code below...

Credit c# datatable to csv for the DataTableToCSV function.
