However on a web based application, because of multiple users using the same code the pro's and con's of using shared methods is not so obvious. Are there any guidlines to the pro's or con's of when and how you should use shared methods in a web app. Thanks As far as the language and shared methods go - there is no ...Show All

Note, that the application is a Smart Device Application. /cls works fine on Desktop applicati ...Show All
