I feel I must apologize for my misbehavior. I'm really sorry. I just thought at that moment that this would teach you to dig at least a tiniest bit on the subject before going out and asking so basic questions in a so general mailing list.

Sorry, again. -- Regards, Alex _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
