yes, I've done some testing already and it seems to work. I had an
uneasy feeling about going forward on this, but I will turn it in to our
QA section for final testing.

I'm used to static linking at compile time, but I guess .NET doesn't
have the ability to compile base class code into a derived class if they
are compiled with separate projects. It looks like .NET always uses
dynamic linking?

The metadata we see in Intellisense almost makes it look like static
linking, especially since compile-time references are needed.
