Jim,

>Really? An I-layer? I talked to you a couple years ago at your Costa Mesa class about that and didn't think you liked the idea. Now when I am coming around to your view, you are changing yours? Curious. ;-)

See how influential you are! <s>

>Actually in thinking about how to do the above work I came to believe the only way to add an I-layer to MM was to recompile the framework myself with each release, something I am reluctant to do. In VFP, since the inheritance is really applied at runtime, things work easily with an I-layer. How would it work in .Net? Am I right that I would have to recompile your framework to add my I-layer changes?

You're right...some developers who are already using the I-Layer feel its worth the effort to recompile when a new version is released.

Best Regards,
