| whenever i try to assign a variable the value from a message in an expression
i get illegal dotted name whenever i try to assign an attributes value to a
defined variable.
the attribute from the message schema is an integer and the variable is of
int16. i pomoted the property in the schema and ithougth taht was all that
was required. is there something else i am missing ?

| Seems to have corrected itself .. not terribly sure what i did  - but now i
get the errpr cannot implicitly convert system.decimla to system.int16.
Curious because i have defined the variable that i am assigning the value to
as Int16 and the Message attribute is off type integer.
what could cause this ?

| Neil - not sure why you are getting your decimal error, but try using the
System.Convert class whenever doing type conversions. Pass it the variable
on the ToInt16 function and voila - it will do it.
