Hi mb,

Instead of having global variables disorganized by being "all around", you
could organize your global var's in a more formal class. In C++ etc. , you
will have one BIG chunk of global variables.....here couldn't you have more
organization? It's the same case with methods as well.

In C#, everything is within a class, and everything derives from
System.Object...this arch is nicely added on with that arch as well.

HTH,
