Tim,

>I need to factory drive classes instantiation in my application. There is a application factory, but since it is derived from an abstract class, I can only use it for overriding methods from MM. I also see the documentation talks about a generic factory. The documentation shows how to set up the classes table for it, but that is where it stops.

You can simply extend the existing Factory.cs/Factory.vb file for your application-specific needs--you don't need to create a new factory.

>Has anybody been using the generic factory?

The Generic factory is specifically suited for data-driving class instantiation. If you don't need this feature then I don't recommend using it.

Best Regards,
