snb, I tend to agree with you. Personally, if given an option, I would also like to stick to the more orthodox way of programming, and I don't vouch for using Deftype. Having said that, it might be an interesting method, as I haven't come across any microsoft sites that against this either. So I'll take a neutral stand on this. I thought Transformer shared something that was a learning for me, so I thought it's better to give viewers inputs from a few other sites also.

Having said that, if you do have any evidence, personal or otherwise, that may lead one to believe that Deftype is faulty, I'd be interested.
