>Be careful with deleivering external class libraries. We did this with a rather large application and found it to create alot of network I/O and instability. In fact, by compiling all our class libraries into apps and exe's, we realized a 50% performance gain. Another approach would be to use the SET CLASSLIB IN clause which is currently supported.
Thanks for advise! I'll try to do that.
The only problem is that all classes are based on Framework classes and putting just one VCX to a separate project will bring all related classes too. What do you do to avoid such thing?
