>>Hi,
>>
>>I need to add about 10 (max) propertied to the application object. These properties will hold names of various meta tables of the application. Then, in many places of the application, this values will be retrieved and used. I know of two approaches
>>
>>1. Create a separate property for each one of the meta names (e.g. "MyMetaTbl1", "MyMetaTbl2", etc.). Then I would have to have as many Get methods in the application object to retrieve these values (e.g. method GetMyMetaTbl1, method GetMyMetaTbl2, etc.
>>
>>2. Create an array property for the application object with number of elements corresponding to the number of meta table names I need to store. Then I can have just one method of getting the values (e.g. GetMetaTableName(nEle))
