Claude, You've tried to make your point with frameworks, but you haven't made any factual statements. It's fine if you don't want to use frameworks, but if you want anyone else to not use them then I think you need to document any issues with them as opposed to things like Includes CF 4.5 and

Tom, All of the new frameworks use CFC, so they won't even work on CF 4.5 or CF 5. One of the frameworks I know , fusebox 3, used a cfswitch in the main file and included a specific framework depending on which server you were on. You didn't need this logic, you could just include the correct

why set up a company with a home grown framework that you may or may not be there to teach your succesor how to use. There are plenty of good reasons: - any framework already developed and in the public domain may be far too general and may include many feature your own project won't need;

But my point was - are they moving to .NET and only using BD.NET in the interim. I don't think any of use know for sure, not even Vince and crew. Only the folks at Myspace and Fox know the answer, and even if they told us, a management decision could negate what they say. Bob
