Houston,

>>If people post something and it is obvious they do not know what they are talking about then it is incumbent on the more knowledgeable to put things straight and encourage a more correct answer at the next opportunity - pouring scorn on the opinion of others, whether they are based on hearsay or not, is exceedingly poor form.

You don't want to start down that path. I have always put things straight in these situations and in a courteous manner. You have obviously not read many of my posts, so it looks like my point is being made yet again.

>>You are not an arbiter of what is good and what is bad, all input should be welcome - get off your high horse!

I never said I was any such arbiter and I am most certainly not on any high horse. I merely suggested that it was not a good idea to post as fact that which you don't have a clue about.

>In this particular case I agree with many of Walter's opinions and I have considerable experience of VFP and dotNet (both WinForms and WebForms).

Oh? You agree that you cannot visually subclass .NET forms? That's the sole reason that I replied to Walter, because he was plainly wrong about that. You show me where I poured scorn on the opinion of others and I will gladly apologize.
