I was thinking a simple general purpose rule. If the variable is typed, and its class has a standard static method for instantiating from a string, and if a String object is being assigned to the variable, then the class's deserialization method is called, returning the new object and assigning it to the variable. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
