Could someone point me to an article that describes in depth why using strings for all properties is a bad idea or why strongly typed classes are better...
I'm trying to articulate why using string properties for every kind of data in a class is a bad idea. The classes specifically only use 3 data types, strings, booleans and lists of other objects in the library and store all data types as string representations of them. Claiming its easier and better to just move the data back and forth from an xml data store. I'm going bonkers trying to articulate exactly why this will create more problems later.

Go to the complete details ...
