Been away

Life has gotten busy lately. I've been able to add 'logfile' capabilities to the Event Log Helper. There's a class that parses a file path to determine if it's a directory, a file, invalid, etc. This all occurs with broad exception catching.

In use, this class allows a potential log file name to be 'qualified' as one or more 'types'. The constructor accepting a file path string can quickly determine if it is valid or not.

I've run several function tests; it all appears to work on a Vista system (no admin rights) and handles every possible input I could type into the immediate window.

With this chunk of support code done I can return my focus to the domain classes.

On another note - I've been reading up on Linq to SQL and typed datasets. This isn't something I have a lot of experience with but it definitely looks easier than manually mapping objects to relational data and vice versa.

It is worth further study...
