Thanks Thomas and Darren for taking the time to help me out. I have had a read of the article you suggested Darren and that definitely looks like a cleaner way of doing things. I'll give that a shot...
I am still having problems actually getting my object out of the result although I can see the values in there in the debugger but casting it is causing me problems. I will have a go with the 'Darron' method and if my troubles persist I'm sure I'll be back to the group with another post. Thanks again for your help...
