The Weird and The Wonderful

Do you work for nothing? It is assumed that the majority of us work for a living and get paid for doing the work. This codeing justly deserves to be written up in the horrors forum.

You call it beautiful ? :sigh: :mad: :doh:

A, Looks like old VB3 code to me. B, Looks like a quick and dirty throw-away test harness of some sort. How many times have we seen those turn into production code?

Not as fast as manually setting each array element, but it does make the code shorter and still readable. Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Easy, you just ask each of them to step on the scale. He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

Actually you're dead wrong in so many ways. :D 1) Since ToString() and Parse() both use the *same* culture, it doesn't matter what that culture is. 2) The culture used is not necessarily the system default. It is the current culture, which can be set programmatically to whatever we'd like it to be. 3) The default culture doesn't actually depend on where the machine is located. I once wrote a disposable class called CultureBubble in order to easily run portions of code with a specific culture, like this: using (new CultureBubble("FR")) { foo(); bar(); } This technique is quite useful, as it requires minimal coding compared to writing logic for dealing with different cultures everywhere data is parsed or presented in culture-dependent ways.

Do point out that a downloadable C# app isn't the best idea. Why not just run it in asp.net? Even if the existing website is something else, like php, why not set up an asp.net server to run the anagram logic if nothing else? The site can then retrieve the anagrams (or even pre-rendered html) through ajax or some ajax-like mechanism and nobody has to download anything. Even people who have the framework installed may be somewhat sceptical to downloading and running executables directly from some small-name website. Though I guess if we look at how many people happily use things like TPB as their source of software my concern might seem exaggerated. I've always been fascinated by the fact that somewhere in the digits of pi is a blue-ray encoded video with DTS surround sound of myself falling into a supermassive black hole, seeing past and future as I pass the event horizon, and then arriving at a concert where Mozart plays drums, Britney Spears plays a cello, Bono is a backing vocalist and the pope is making out with George Michael.

You do remember right, and I was trying to forget.

Brilliant if documented by a comment that they must be primes. Otherwise Horror. JustAStupidGurl

varchar(20), you are lucky... somebody who's name i will not mention, there it's my only "programming" colleague, is coming from VB6 and now in .Net all data types are still variant(in her head). Adding numbers to strings is standard... Type Casting? What is that? Turning on option strict results in hundreds of errors , in one project with one source file, of 3000 lines... and tables, don't ask ... today my heart stopped a moment with this... CREATE TABLE `tkolkinfo` ( `tkolkIK` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `tKolkClientId` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `tKolkTimestampBerichtOpmaak` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `tKolkTimestampDateKolkDone` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `tKolkTimestampHourKolkDone` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `tKolkTimestampDateTimeKolkDone` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', But at least in the company where i work next to .Net there is windev, helping me to forget all the IT horror and dream away on a beach with a beautifull girl: http://www.pcsoft-windev-webdev.com/WD14brochure.pdf[^] (this was sarcasm for the ones who didn't notice...)

Doesn't everyone use background colors for their control logic? ;) :laugh: This code probably even works, but see my tag line… Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Chalk it up to another reason why to never use Visual SourceShredder. :laugh:
