    Found this little gem in one of our apps at work ... // A method to check if current time is before 09:32am. private bool IsBefore932() { if (Clock.Now.Hour < 9) { return true; } else if (Clock.Now.Hour == 9) { if (Clock.Now.Minute < 32) { return true; } else { return false; } } else { return false; } }

    Gems like this is the reason I don't buy commercial ready-to-use components or libraries unless I can see the source code myself. :doh:

    So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

        I would love to see the specs for that particular case.

              It's part of a real-time application with tasks that are interdependent with tasks performed by many other apps running over several networks. 9:32 was the start time for a group of tasks it needed to do. It's actually an upgrade from the now deprecated function IsBefore928() :-) We know the maximum time each task takes to complete, so we can use cutoff times as a simple way to coordinate tasks between different machines on different networks without them having to know anything about each other. A settings file for the task start/stop times would be better. But to be fair, as a couple of guys have pointed out here, it does what it is supposed to!

                    O0O0O0... huh, I thought it was. I know I meant it to be, but the pre they look the same. What kind of second-rate joint is this? I'm going to the suggestion forum next.

                      Actually I think it is an Oh. BUt like you said, they look the same. It's terrible, it's a disgrace, it's, it's... I don't really care anymore.

                        I hope you have unit tests with 100% code coverage for each one of those methods.
