Plus, as I recently learned, you don't have to register the DLL with the operating system. You can point CF8 to the DLL, itself, and CF will find it. This eliminates the step of having to register DLLs when setting up new servers or when updating the DLLs, themselves.

Well, firstly, marketing thought it up, so it should carry no technical weight. Secondly, obviously you have no .Net knowledge, so it'll take much longer to get anything done even after you've spent all the time and money getting trained up. Thirdly, .Net is never always the right answer, just as CFML is never always the right answer. What do these 'Web agencies' do (or thing you do) that makes them think .Net must be the One True Way ? -- Tom Chiverton Helping to globally deliver transparent communities on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:289909 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
