There are no guarantees. I know a Karaoke software written in .NET, that doesn't check if a list view is empty when trying to select the first element. It results in a popup message about the Exception and you can continue from there. It is a logic error (aka assertion), but being tailored towards user interfaces, .NET doesn't kill the app. Heck, if Mono-D closed down on every NPE I wouldn't be using it any more. ;) -- Marco
