Of course, my point is only valid for cases where it is not desired for the "naked" attribute to be accessible, but rather that the accessor be able to present a computed value f.ex from several compound private attributes, or a mutator be able to set computed values or even just to verify values before setting them. In that case, you have to implement the insideout-ness yourself as per Yves' code, rather than using your method maker. -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."Thread Previous | Thread Next
