So, apparently, I have to add the property or method to each of my root base classes. Add the new property to my textbox baseclass, add the new property to my checkbox baseclass, add the new property to my label base class, blah, blah, blah. Maintaining them in this manner seems to be a little short of a full OO architecture.

I thought I have some C# knowledge:) How can you do it in C#? IMHO you can't. I haven't seen such a thing even in C# 4.0. What am I missing?

PS: If you mean Object you can downcast to it but can you modify it (Object class) in any way?
