Hi Mark,

My coworkers and I don't really understand your last question. However,
we're pretty sure you're getting to a depth beyond what we can support
within the newsgroups. With that said, which .NET language are you using? I
know that's not totally relevant to your question, but this will help me
route this question to someone. [we have to some way to organize ourselves
and by language is one of many methods we use]

Thank you, Mike Moore
