>I'll give you an analogy: suppose you want to build a zoo of various classes of animals. And suppose that there are certain aspects that are common to many species, but not all, and they occur in various diverse combinations. You don't want to create a bunch of redundant properties and methods in each different class, but you also find it awkward to fit everything into a single neat heirarchy. So you create a Custom class object that represents a circulatory system, another one for a nervous system, a tail, a tusk, etc. Then you build your animals by starting from a suitable base class and dropping in the applicable custom class member objects. These custom objects are not containers, and they are not visual objects. They are just a convenient way of packaging a logical collection of properties and methods that can be attached to different PARENT objects. I hope this silly example helps!

Hi Michael... That was a GREAT answer.... It help alot...
