What u want to do is not possible with C#, like u said u will need to create an temporal instance and then assign the fields using the temporal object.
However, why would u want to do this in the constructor? It seems abit like a bad idea to me. Because basically you are robbing yourself of the ability to create mock objects.. using that constructor that is.. Delegating the creation of your objects to other classes (which instantiate and initialise the object) seems like a much more sensible solution. So I am curious as to why you would want an solution as this :) Arjen ProPlanet BV Rijnstraat 495F 5215 EJ 's-Hertogenbosch The Netherlands Tel +31 (0)73 513 0637 Fax +31 (0)73 631 2114 www.proplanet.eu Disclaimer This e-mail and any attachment(s) sent with it are intended exclusively for the addressee(s), and may not be used by, opened by, passed on to, or made available for use to, any person other than the addressee(s).

I'd like to use the QueryforObject method within the constructor method for each class so the iBatis logic is contained within the standard approach to instantiating objects in C#. Prob is, a constructor already has the object created. Is it necessary to create a temporary instance using QfO and then to assign the fields from it to the constructor-created instance? I must be missing something really simple. Thanx, Garth
