By the way, my original idea was to create a derived class, when I have on object of base class. 

Later I understood that it's better to create the derived object using factory at the start, 

rather than create the base class and then convert it to derived one.

I would like to thank you a lot for your post on a DNN forum which explain how to use DNN in precompiled mode.
