So far, I'm not aware of any case where this wouldn't be better modelled as a property on the collection holding the binding. > I'm not too worried about encouraging binding-specific properties, as I > believe implementors would be able to see the potential usability drawbacks > of such properties. I tend to disagree here (judging from previous reactions) :-) Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
