Well, isn't this what a component is? A base platform to build on and reuse common functionality? :)

Seems to my this is what the UIComponent states; "I am creating an interface for all others to follow. I am the base platform for this kind of functionality."

I agree and this is exactly how Flex will evolve. OOP is still new in the web development sense.

All I have to do is think back to the 1000's of hours I spent playing with Lego's to get me really excited about what can be build on top of the 'Flash Platform'.

I think maybe what you are asking also is, what interface should I implement when 'creating web controls'.

When you create that base platform you speak of, you are just defining your interface that others will implement and extend.

Really, good high level components will come from an interface that makes sense and is patterned.

Web controls are self contained and can hold quite a lot of
functionality whilst maintaining a "plug in" functionality (ie drop
in the dll, and change a few settings in thw web.config)

Ideally i would have a toolkit of components that can make up the
majority of a systems regular functionality.

But it looks that if i want to use cairngorm i will have to do what
Andy says create a base platform to build everything on top of.
