    Just curious who's coded a lot of C#? I'm sure I've typed in over 250,000 loc in C# since 2003 (no auto generating VS add-ins either). Jim

      Its not quantity but quality that counts. :rolleyes: Using the GridView is like trying to explain to someone else how to move a third person's hands in order to tie your shoelaces for you. -Chris Maunder

        Quality goes without saying. I could add on the lines of code in C# tests if you want. That would bump it up a few hundred thousand more, but those are sometimes copied to create similar tests, so I didn't type them all in. I've deleted a lot of code during refactoring while improving quality. I've probably deleted more C# than most have coded. Jim

          Just as a point of reference, BizTalk 2006 is all written in C#. I think it's got like 1.6 million LOC in it and is the largest pure C# codebase known to exist. In addition...it's pretty dang spiffy. :)

            I've been coding C# since 2002, so 4 years now. If I were to take a guess at who's coded the most C#, I'd pick the guy who is empirically the most zealous about the .NET platform, the CLR, and the C# language. The guy who embraces it wholeheartedly and religiously. The guy who makes it his life to eat, breathe, and sleep .NET code. As I'm sure you've guessed by now, I'm talking about John Simmons / Outlaw Programmer. ;)

                        I was simply curious. I haven't kept track of the statistic myself religiously either. A couple times over the years I ran a line counter over my source. I was just daydreaming over coffee and plugged some rough estimates together for my number in my original post. I will run a line counter at some point this afternoon for a more definate number:) Jim

                                Most of it is. I haven't found the forms designer in VS 2005 to be too terribly bad. The WebForms designer rocks now too.

                                    Partial classes are not too terribly bad? Not to get too off topic :) Jim

                                      Sounds like that interview question we used to get in the early 90's? "How many lines of C++ code have you written?" Incredibly stupid question as one of the main benefits of C++ is not reinventing the wheel constantly. Tom Archer (blog) Program Manager MSDN Online (Windows Vista and Visual C++) MICROSOFT

                                        Refactoring lets you do more with less over time, so lines of code don't really count for much, but it is fun to think about over a cup of coffee. Jim

                                          Partial classes are not too terribly bad? Not to get too off topic :) Jim

                                          Partial classes are nice. Although that's the one C# 2.0 feature that I really don't care that much about.
