Hey Ken,

See Kamal's message #657822 for a better response to this. Again, it's more prevalent in something like the VFPToolkit, where you can simply type the function name without having to preface it with a class name.

>>Well, I meant "easier" as in "slightly easier." Have you worked with anything but the .NET framework classes yet? If not, then I understand your statement. But if you build your own classes as a separate assembly and then import them into a VB.NET program, you don't have to preface the method calls with the namespace name or an alias, like you do in C#. The VFPToolkit brings this to light also. It's a simple thing, really, but I think my code is cleaner without that stuff. For a test, try importing the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace into C# to see what I mean. I did that as a test so I could use the VAL function instead of System.Convert.ToInt().
