I thought you were on to something there. However, I killed NAV and still no go. I was just hoping to be able to view the ASP page (which I didn't write) while I rewrote what I saw in .NET. Instead, I opted just to read the source and go from there. Just not worth the headache. Thanks anyway.

You can cast anything to the type Object, and back again. This is frequently used when a method takes parameters that can be any data type. For instance the String.Format method: string s = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}", "The answer is ", 42, "."); What really happens here is that the method takes an array of objects: object[] temp = new object[] {(object)"The answer is ", (object)42, (object)"."}; string s = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}", temp); The strings already are objects, so they can be casted without boxing. For the integer value, though, a new object is created on the heap and the value is copied into the object. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
