Actually "structs" in C# can have methods. They are exactly classes with value type semantics (i.e. pass-by-value, like arrays in PHP). I think "struct" would be an ideal name for this feature, as this proposal matches the C# implementation very closely, and many people will be familiar with that. See the "Structs Tutorial" at msdn for a brief summary of structs in C# - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa288471(v=vs.71).aspx Richard Bradley Tel : 020 7485 7500 ext 3230 | Fax : 020 7485 7575 softwire Sunday Times Best Small Companies 2012 - 6th in the UK Web : www.softwire.com | Addr : 325 Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Road, London NW5 1TL Softwire Technology Limited.
