Fair enough, and it wasn't a veiled insult or anything :) I just truly want to know why people would still use that particular convention with modern OO languages and IDEs. Visual Studio is supposed to be the worlds greatest IDE and yet developers routinely prefix class/member variables with _/m_ to differentiate them from method/local vars - should this not be the job of the IDE if it truly is confusing? It's like that Systems Hungarian notation (where you specify the datatype as part of the variable name) - guess I'm too young to appreciate when it may have been useful Kev --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
