Hi Tom, A quick question following along this thread... How do you decide which functionalities you include in a class like VenueI and VenueIW? I was exploring this and found that one of the classes that I was using did not have all of the interface functionality that I required.
Is the best way to move forward on this to log a "Feature Request" for further expansion of the interface??? In particular, I was trying to access the VenueState (through GetVenueState()) on a VenueClient proxy (through VenueClientIW). I don't think you should consider that a feature request yet, there may be a better way to get that info that I am missing... I was just curious about how to move forward if I want "other info" that isn't already provided... Cheers, Brian Thomas D.
