in thread Should I use Fields, InsideOuts, or Properties?

Thanks for mentioning this.

Reading the thread you linked to, adrianh commented "Once you start refactoring classes and moving object fields between classes, adding fields to classes, etc. I find array based objects becomes a complete PITA." and you seem to agree with him. So, I am reading your example as a way to do things very cleanly in some simple cases, but not as a replacement for fields, which, despite its annoyances, does play well with inheritance.
