WTF? Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

The only difference between a struct and a class is that the members of a class default to "private" while the members of a struct default to "public". Often, for simple data containers, people still use a struct. i.e. struct BOB { int a; int b; }; Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Wrong forum buddy :laugh: Thats C++ ;P In fact all members in managed constructs are private except enum constant fields :) xacc-ide 0.0.15 now with C#, MSIL, C, XML, ASP.NET, Nemerle, MyXaml and HLSL coloring - Screenshots
