Current state is.. A base component w/o any storage methods. >From that base I derived two more components, one that writes binary to a stream/file and one that uses XML (conditional compilation). Isn't a tree-structure hard to write to an INI file? Actually a user group as well as a user may have arbitrary parameters which are derived TCollection items as well (properties Name: string DataType: Enum; Value: string). Actually I'm busy with ICS-SSL so I had no time to continue the usermanager. --- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.overbyte.be > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Arno Garrels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> > Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 9:21 AM > Subject: [twsocket] UserManager component > > >> Hello, >> >> I'm actually writing a simple user manager component that I would like >> to contribute to ICS.
