No code? I'm not sure what that means.

Naturally, something like this would only be valuable if we could get an object reference to the resulting Avalon form so we could transmit messages to and from it.

If you meant the form could contain no non-UI code--I think a lot of us are beyond putting business-layer or data-layer code in forms now anyway, so no loss there.

Thanks.
