Agreed with dave, But maybe another point, You said you already have a class all actions extend, right?
Is it said somewhere that the actions can extend one class only? I mean, if it's needed by the architecture, you can create a whole action hierarchy... And if you'd need multiple inheritance - use delegates :-) As to you another option, I know different people on this list like to instantiate actions directly, but as for me, it's forbidden in my team, because it brings a lot of problems with ressource sharing if you count to instantiate an action once, and do it multiple times. So in my opinion: First choice action hierarchy Second choice helper classes Or maybe a good combination of both :-) Regards Leon > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Dave Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Montag, 18.
