Re: Question to Interfaces/Objectcatalogue

Hi Ralph.

Thank's for your answer. I see now, that an additional interface can't be
the solution. It doesn't pay anything. The mechanism of Interfaces and
Inheritance is quite plain to me. But I don't understand the basics of COM (I
think at this point, it's neccesary to read something about that ;-).

Unfortunately I have no bearing on this design of the project. Althoug the
concept of generated classes is not the worst thing. In a scenario with
hundreds of tables, it's not a good idea, to read from ADO Recordsets untyped.
And Code like rs.Fields("OrderNumber") can't be checked by the compiler.
That's a potential source of error.

Of course, the generated classes can't never be part of the bussines-layer.
That's absolutely clear. And that's not the circumstance in our project
(fortunately !)
There are a lot of additional classes and class-hierarchies, which are
designed for the bussines-layer. And together with the forms, we have now
this bloated Project.
Unfortunately, it's designed as a monolith.

We plan to remake the whole project in VB.NET or C#. But that's an
enterprise for the next few years.

Thank you,
Peter
