In the god forsakened Java world, we use the Camel convention where prefixing field names with the primative data type might not be the best approach. E.G. Let's say we have an integer field, assuming the Hungarian style the field would be prefixed with the lower case i.... However in Camel objects are also prefixed with a lower case letter, so obeying the rules of the convention we could have innerClass as a valid name. ...just more mud in the water.

PL] I see what you mean. I missed that portion of the documentation since I searched for the method name and tried working out its syntax. I ama also spoiled by Microsoft's superb documentation so I tend to expect all other documentation in the same level of detail. <chuckle I am finding homer .net very useful since I can now add controls as I like without messing about with forms and doing all that positioning math.
