Hi kissnas,

The atributes u define in the context Tab are used for data storage in the application but attributes in the Attribute Tab are reference varaible for different Interafaces or Classes.

Hello,

If in doubt use the context.

context elements can be bound to UI elements - attributes cannot.

So anything that you want to represent in your views - make it part of your context.

I'd also not use too many attributes - as I prefer to keep my coding in the assistance class and use class attributes there if I absolutely need to use global type variables.

Cheers,

Chris
