Alright, so I'm messing around with some code, and I brought up a good
question to myself.

If creating a class called "Person", and filling that class with variables,
properties like:

Public Class Person
    Private mstrName As String
    Private mdtBirthDate As Date

    Public Property Name() As String
        Get
            Return mstrName
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            mstrName = Value
        End Set
    End Property

etc......

What is the benefit of typing out all that code over defining a simple
structure such as:

Structure Person
    Public Name As String
    Public BirthDate As Date
End Structure

-J
