Deciding what side-effects you can legitimately get away with in a property setter is always going to be a judgement call. In this particular case, I'm more persuaded by your position (that is, make interval read-only). OTOH, I'm sure there will be other situations where my intuition is in favor of a setter with even more egregious side-effects than that. :) Cheers, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
