I'm working on this horrible legacy... to give you an example, the main form contains about 48000 lines of code, containing gui, business and, yeah, all the data access. Nice, isn't it?
It's a horror. My former company had an
MFCapplication featuring more than100000:omg: lines of code for the frame window.Star Vega wrote:
But here's (yet) the best part: if you want to display a checkbox at certain moments, why not surround the checkbox code in the form's designer code (auto-generated, remember) with an if-statement? The difficult part is (you are guessing right!) that you have to rewrite this code very often (whén their code disappears, they don't have a clue). Clever as they are, they attached this text file with the code you have to rewrite so often.
Horror keeps running. :rolleyes:

By the way, they offered me training - should I start looking for another company?
I did. :) [added] Someone of my former company saw this post, I suppose... :rolleyes: [/added]

The designer file is meant to hide the code used for the GUI. So better leave it hidden and do not try to touch it ;)

Did you suggest they try
.Visible=false? Or add it dynamically? -

Sounds like the tail wagging the dog. Here's what you should do: 1. Find new job. 2. Offer them training. If they refuse, give your notice. If they accept, withdraw the offer of training stating that it's a lost cause and give your notice. Good luck!

It's unbelievable. Are you embellishing the story or all of them are really mind-disabled? :wtf:

I wish it was a joke... there are 2 'developers' for this huge application. The company decided to replace this legacy.. finally. By the way, I found their Access DB: it exists of 125 tables, in which I found one (1!) relation (no referential integrity, what did you expect?)
