The only thing missing is an implicit cast from PFI to Person, to write it like Person person = new Person().Set.FirstName("Pat").LastName("Frank").Age(30).IsActive(); Also, personally, I find 'With' more readable than 'Set' for these cases. C# 3.0 object initializers will obsolete this usage, but until then it is quite cool. Good post.
