I like the concept. Creating a class is pointless overhead. It propagates class pollution, encourages lazy class coding, and demands additional test code. Simple concepts should be simple in execution.
The other alternatives mentioned so far give up type safety. > Dim Year, Month, Day As Integer = ParseDate(someValue) Note: this syntax is already legal in RB. That's my biggest worry with this idea: that the syntax will prove too cumbersome or too subtle, at which point we might as well stick with ByRef. lj _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
