Professional conditions with IF

SalarSoft

One of our former staff wrote this professional IF clause in VB.NET(Hell language) IF TextBox1.Text=1 or 2 or 3 THEN ' Go to hell END IF :wtf: I tried to write codes like this, but couldn't. Can you help to write? :omg:

:-D well it could be worse.. i mean he could have written IF TextBox1=1 or 2 or 3 THEN TextBox2 = TextBox1 * 10 ' more ugly code here... END IF i don't know if this works with vb.net as well but in vb6 it definitly did :)

It's not uncommon at all to see coders express their frustrations in the code they write. For an entertaining afternoon of reading, go to http://www.google.com/codesearch[^] and enter the profanity of your choice. You'd be amazed what people say.

You have just supplied me with an infinitely amusing resource. thank you. (the sad part is that I probably find it so amusing because I do the same thing in all of my code)

I saw her with her husband. I think she is in hell now. YES! She is a woman!

Did you sack her for?

Being VB illiterate... This does work as I fear it does? It sets the TextBox1.text to be "1" and then branches into the THEN, because 2 is equal to TRUE?

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Nope. Since it follows the IF statement, VB evaluates TextBox1.Text=1 as a conditional expression (I don't know if it results in a run-time error).

Yes. :)

It shouldn't; nearly all flavors of VB automatically coerce numerics into strings.

Please don't bother me... I'm hacking right now. Don't look at me like that - doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

I was quite confident about too, but my VBA actually doesn't like the mix. Unfortunately I have no VB6 at hand. :)

Really? Works fine for me in Access 2003. It will throw an error if Textbox1 is empty, since you can't coerce a comparison with an empty string (or a null).

No, we deported her and her friend cause they didn't skilled and they did lots of such mistakes ( I remember their nightmare creatures ). For example she named a function to something like this "girgo". X| Because of this naming, my friends named her "girgo". :laugh: Now the corporation focused on C#

I'm using Excel 2002. But I think that VBA version difference doesn't really matter in this case.

IMHO it will NOT throw only if the Textbox1.Text value can be coerced to a number (i.e. Runtime Error if Textbox1.Text is equal to "foo"). :)

But... why on earth would that throw a Runtime Error? F00 is 3840... :wtf:

Because VB isn't such smart on number representations :-D
