>I'm trying to do an App without method calls, only property changes -- using Assign to set "state changes" or perform functions in the application through hidden methods. I don't know *why* yet, I'm just having fun :)

The problem I have with A&A is that when you are reading the code, if you didn't write it, or you don't remember, there is no way to know that it is going to fire. After several head scratches you fire up the debugger, and there it is.

I think I'll stick with accessing//assigning protected properties with methods that expose them...

SetMyProperty()
GetMyProperty()

viola.. A&A in 5.0 !!!
