I haven't worked with the framework in VA, and personally, don't like frameworks to create accessor methods. However, just yesterday, I really wished that the debugger had a button when enountering an unknown method called 'create accessor' or something similar - if the method looks like an accessor method for a variable that doesn't have one, offer up the option of letting the runner (coder) just create the simplest flavor right there in the debugger. It would show up right next to the Create button at the same time. My favorite method of coding, in any case... -Chris
