The variables A, B, C may be equal at some point in time, they also are variables, hence their value can change. See also here[^]. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

there is an obvious flaw in this code, it should read like: if (Status == "something") { randomValue = true; } else if (Status != "something") { randomValue = true; } else { randomValue = true; }

an elegant solution would be to put the controls in question into a dedicated collection and iterate over this

I suppose you can't break anything if you don't change anything or do anything. Sounds like JSL to me. I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

a) the comment is inaccurate -- the worst kind b) a comment on this statement is entirely unnecessary c) as someone else mentioned, the statement it comments uses a magic number. Defining it as a constant might also provide the explanation that this comment fails to provide. d) than/then confusion: one of my pet peeves. Contains coding, but not narcotic.

In near future Google is planning to give space to save your code online. But your own project related code and documents, you have to maintain in your local server (TFS, VSS etc...), they are providing security. -- Rushi

I have seen some pretty bad ways to compare date, but that is surely one of the worst! X| Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

and thats why they can't (designers(can't code)). Excuse the pun. "Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence." << please vote!! >> modified on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 4:14 AM

Both code goes to the category of Hall of Shame? :wtf:

The multiple names is not SOOO uncommon here in the U.S.A. anymore either. The nanas were arguing about the middle name for our second daugher, so we just gave her "Amber Ann" as the middle name!

I agree but I think there is a limit to this. You can tell when someone is tossing the effort of learning over the fence but you have to understand people have different learning styles. Reading documentation doesn't work for everyone, hence pod casts and training videos. Pair programming combines visual and auditory information exchange that help to reinforce concepts and methods. Basically what I'm saying is, not everyone is on YOUR level of expertise and they may not learn the same way you do, so don't be a dick and use RTFM as your catch-all for swatting away social interactions. That dumb ass that wants you to show them what a SQL insert looks like for the 4th time will probably get promoted to product manager. :)

My wife has a secret recipe for Hawaiian Pineapple Burgers. The patty has a round slice of pineapple placed on top of it and partially squeezed into the patty. It is then wrapped completely around in an X pattern with two slices of bacon. The patties are then placed in a 'special' marinade for about 12 to 14 hours. And then you cook them. You can then garnish the burger with anything you like, 'cause as you know, anything goes with bacon. These burgers are the moistest I've ever eaten. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

It's definitely not a clever code. Somebody smokes joint too often. :)

Hi Bruno, Clearly this programmer is using "fresco" as a code-word for "obfuscatore al dente." best, Bill "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Yes, the method names should be descriptive. In my experience the ones who don't use descriptive method names also don't bother to write good comments. Also, sometimes, even a good method name can use a little extra description now and then. ;) :) Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I wonder what will happen when //do some stuff here throws an exception??? ;-)
