Excellent. That was my choice too! The change is no problem from my
POV ... [moments pass] ... 'tis done.

Remind me to check your schema document page so I can update my code.
That is a problem with encapsulating schema with a nice interface that
maps onto the fields neatly ... it's subject to change as the schema
changes. But the error handling, compactness and neatness it provides
are worth the effort I feel. For instance:

xAPPCStatusMessage pc_status_msg = new xAPPCStatusMessage ();
pc_status_msg.AddMessageBlock(new xAPPCStatusCPUBlock(50, 8));
pc_status_msg.AddMessageBlock(new xAPPCStatusUserBlock("Stuart",
true));
pc_status_msg.AddMessageBlock(new xAPPCStatusDriveBlock("C",
1024, 512, "OS"));
:

Or:

xAPWeatherReportMessage msg = new xAPWeatherReportMessage ();
xAPWeatherReportBlock block = msg.WeatherReportBlock;
block.Cloud = "Clear Skies";
block.TempCentigrade = 24;
block.WindCompassDirection = COMPASS_DIRECTION.NW;
:
msg.AddMessageBlock(block);

Speaking of changing schemas, I just popped in to inform one and all
that the entire PC.Status/Request/etc schema set are now fully
supported with xAPFramework. And I've added a batch of automatic tests
to my framework test routines too (hence the code above).

I then had a look on your site at the HomeSeer schema. How static is
this do you think? Should I leave that one for the time being as it's
a work in progress?

Arg! :) Wrapping up schema is something I may leave for a few days as
it's pretty mind numbing work to be honest.

Oh, hecky thump, I'd all but forgotten about Patrick's stuff since
he's gone. I'll worry about those schema another day. I've still got
some stuff for Kevin on the ToDo list next.
