    It's very useful debugging technique, especially in loops, although you can use "Breakpoint Conditions" for that matter:

    for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
    {
    if(i==10)
    i=i; // <- break point
    }

    Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

      sometime I insert quick and crappy code for debugging purposes. But always I comment that portion as being a debug code and not to be included in production. I insert the comment in case I forgot to remove the code and some one may catch it. Most of the time I use break point conditions :)

              this could only be better with getter/setter methods!!

              tbDrinkType.Text
              {
              get
              {
              return drinkType;
              }
              set
              {
              drinkType = value;
              }
              }

                    Some people like hitting themselves on the head with a hammer. Others even enjoy hitting other people on the head with a hammer. This mental singularity obviously is one who innovates on the second group with a _jack_hammer. ;P

                        Management material. Why? 1. discussing what management likes to discuss most, drinking 2. In the way management communicats: repetition and redundancy 3. In the way management thinks: nonsensical Marc

                          Can you explain the horror? At first I thought you were getting a value from a text box and putting it right back into the text box, but after closer inspection I see that isn't the case (assuming the language is case-sensitive).

                            then what else is the code doing. The only exception is when the text in the TextBox is empty

                              The person who wrote this is simply checking if the text in the textbox is empty. a simple: if (tbDrinkType.Text == "") { // Do stuff } would have been quite satisfactory. ;)
