I'm thinking that replying to someone who didn't make the point you're arguing with will always be confusing to anyone reading it, with the possible exception of politicians. > Your solution is similar to mine, i just use a custom data structure where > you chose to use the framework provided one. > As for the 'icky' bit, are you sure that your hierarchical data structure > does not use pointers to parent nodes internally? (Have not used it so i do > not know) No, I don't know that it doesn't do this. But I suspect from other bits of the FW code that I've looked at that what they have is a dictionary that associates the parent with the child node rather than storing the parent _in_ the child. I'd rather not think about it too much, because my husband's employer doesn't provide very good life insurance for spouses ;-). At any rate, if the FW code _does_ do this, it's hidden from my sensitive eyes and I can completely disclaim responsibility for any ickiness that might be associated. -Amy
