[Gambas-user] Compiled version of class

[Olivier Coquet]

Hi Bruce,

there are several reasons why..

First: For users who just want to use the class as it is, it is easier 
to check a component in the interface than to fetch a class and 
copy/paste it.

Second: For a program published as a binary packet, it is simpler to 
make a component update available than to propose the complete reinstall 
of the program.

Thirdly: for the answer to users' questions, it is important to be sure 
of the version of the component they are using, apart from a copy/paste 
leaves the possibility to modify (voluntarily or accidentally) the 
class, which does not allow to be sure of the integrity of the code.

Finally: The use of components is a good practice that I think is an 
integral part of the Gambas Basic "guide-line" as defined by Benoît.

Here is the why of the how :)

Regards

Olivier
