Sorry to chime in here late...but if you use tags for a system wide process you completely eliminate the ability to use the tags on the fly for other purposes. 300k in memory is nothing nowadays. If we were designing systems back in the 80's and 90's, sure, but in today's world, most cell phones have more computing power then a high end system in the early 90's. I didn't read every detail in the 'tag' solution, but I believe it required saving the design of the forms. Using a class solution (and using the Event driven method, so that translations can be changed by the user) prevents constantly having to redesign every form. And leaves the tags available for other purposes.

But the whole point of the tag goes away when you have a wrapper class. The purpose of a tag is to contain "anything" that the developer wants for that form. Once I have a wrapper class I can simply create new properties of the class, with strong typing, etc. If you have a class you no longer need a tag, never mind a whole collection of them. John W.
