so what was your final opinion of Enterprise Architect?

Looking up the Invoke method with Reflection is exactly what I needed... I really appreciate your help.

I think .net will have much tighter integeration than any of todays existing OS, thats pretty much known thing. From the screen shots I've seen earlier, there is something called Avalon (.net framework for longhorn) which looks pretty cool. But Chris said, its more than two years away and is tough to speculate now based on the screen shots which are not official. Cheers, Kannan

I thought you were using the compiled types anyway, so I did not understand.

I have tried Terrarium, but its P2P architecture doesn't really fit the model of a card game. My client/server model, with all logic localized to the server, seems to be a more appropriate architecture. Also, I would assume that the Terrarium communication method is probably a .NET-based proprietary solution, and therefore unfit for creating connections between a .NET server and a Java client (which is the final goal of my connection scheme, as I want to be able to play this game with my Macintosh-using friends). Kannan, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think the approaches used for Terrarium really fit an online card game. Eric
