Hi!
You mean you prefer to call dodefault() every time rather that it being called by default?
Ok, let me put it this way, what is the % of dedefault() you have in your child's events/methods?

If we want to Extend the behavior we have to execute "DoDefault()" every time in every child's Event/Method if we want the parent's Event/Method to fire, which I think is really a pain in the a##.

Also I think that extra properties for every method will overburden a class and make it difficult to maintain. Personally, DODEFAULT() works just fine for me as it allows me to run the parent class code where I want it to fire.
