One more note about object design in Java (J2EE) and in NET. I thought for the longest time that Microsoft's blatant lack of deep object structures in their sample applications was some sort of "pandering" to lesser abled developers. Woops - wrong idea! The fact that MS moves recordsets or datasets across application tiers is based on good middle tier citizenship. In a multi-tiered scenario it would not do well to have a deep object with all sorts of attributes and properties because filling each one will result is extra network traffic as the information to set each one is gathered. Therefore, even through C# can build beautiful deep objects, it may not be a good idea to do so because of the usual issues of marshalling data across layers of an application. Now I've got it! 7:55:57 PM
