Program design question

[Kevin Passey]

I have an XML file that I am using to hold some rules for downloading files
from an AS400.

I can parse these rules and read them into a vector - I now want to
reference that vector at a higher level.

Do I have to serialise it and read it back. The problem I have is that the
vector is built in an event handler which is passed to the parser as an
argument - how do I get to that vector..

Thanks

Simply add a property getter for the List (Vector) to your event handler
class.

Btw, it might be more appropriate to create a custom class "Rules" that
contains the vector. That way you're more flexible and can add further
methods for Rules to this class.

Kind regards

Hi Robert thaks for your reply.

I do have a RuleSet Class with some methods in there so I can determine how
many rules I have.

What then grab the whole RuleSet through that.
thanks again.
