Michael...
I've read the tutorial, and I think I understand it.
But maybe I don't understand reflection. I thought that I could use
it to avoid defining anything. I'd like to have objects basically
spring into life knowing exactly what their row names are, without
having to type anything.
Am I misunderstanding reflection? Can it not automatically figure out
the row names for me? If it can, is there an example of this
somewhere?
Or should I just sit down and type out all my classes with rownames?
Thanks
