But for some ( strange ) reasson if i mention this in a non language related group i am beeing atacked with all sorts of non arguments to do so personally i have the idea that it is foolish to rewrite a function for wich the framework already provides a built in one and as the VB namespace is part of the framework i can not figure out anny valid argument why a C# coder would write his own ( a lot of work , error prone , a lot slower in performance if it excatly does the same ) regads Michel

Which is one of the reasons we now have F# - basically OCamal.NET. -- Tom Shelton
