'Depreciated' is not equal to 'Deprecated', which is what you intend

Another very minor issue I just wanted to get onto your 'someday' list. Thanks!

Yes, I remember this discussion from our last training session... however, when we looked up the two definitions on www.dictionary.com, the two were used within the definitions of each other.  So, we left it alone.  However, if you google "deprecated vs depreciated" you will find plenty of fuel for both arguments...

I see your point though.

Technically, you could use depreciated in both cases, but there is less chance of deprecated being misinterpreted and besides its meaning is more correct.

Besides #2, Microsoft uses 'deprecated' for this meaning (search SQL Server BOL for both and you'll see what I mean)...

My two cents...Smile

Smile  Yes, I know... I checked some of the ObsoleteAttributes that have been assigned to methods in .NET, and they used deprecated, so I changed ours... you win Whistling
