Surprise! Surprise! IComparable.CompareTo Method[^] Many of you may already be aware of this one, but notice how the Visual Basic and C# examples differ from the C++ example. (See Celsius property) Rediculous.

You see - C++ programmers can, Basics and Sharpies just try ;P

I wonder if all those global warming scientists used that code.

How 'bout Basites and Sharpites. Doesn't that have more of a diseased ring to it. :)

I thought VB was a disease. You mean its a programming language as well? :doh: They probably typed the following: Return (m_value - 32) / 1.8 and got a Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) and wasn't sure what to do so they changed it to 2 :(

Now THAT is funny. If I voted messages, you'd get a 5 from me. :)

The irony of course being that the Celsius property has absolutely nothing to do with the CompareTo method and therefore just complicates the example code. I can see millions of VB programmers defining Celsius properties because they think it's necessary to get CompareTo working ;-)

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

You're cruel! But funny! :-D:laugh::laugh: Cheers,

What about a sharpie that also programs C++?

Adultery! ;)
