private string myPropertyValue = "";
public string MyProperty {
	get {

>>>I need to keep track of "something" as the Timer event (.Tick <g>) fires. In VFP world (used to be a language like that, maybe some of you older folk remember <g>) it was done by adding a custom property to a form. Then this property was in scope in any method of the form.
