What are your code pet-peeves?

For the property, I would accept the get and set on each own line, if the property setter/getter was only 1 line long. Eg:
public bool Selected
{
get {return selected;}
set {selected = value;}
}xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)ya i can handle that :) but ive seen even some articles here that have one line getter and setter like in my "wrong" example and it completely puts me off reading the rest of the article / code.

you.suck = (you.passion != Programming)Style is very important. But within the context of a corporate development environment the actual style adopted is not important. What gets my goat[^] is when code is inconsistent. There are aspects of our code style where I work that I personally do not like, but I defend them. I feel I have to as it was arrived at by consensus. With thirty odd people working on my code base it is really easy to review code when it adheres to the agreed guideline. Without even reading the code you can /see/ if it is okay.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Actually - there's another pet peeve of mine. People using properties when a field would suffice. If the object is serializable then, fine, make it a property otherwise do you really need to have a property that does nothing other than assign a value?

These days I prefer the automatic properties of c# 3 public string UserName { get; set; }
Same here, unless there's specific logic involved. Automatic properties save some coding. ;)

Not only serialization (well XML only, binary is fine with fields), but binding requires properties.

It does, but my point still stands - do you really need to have a property that does nothing other than assign a value? BTW - binding is best performed if you implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface, and the property then does more than just setting a value.

definitely a matter of taste, out of all 3 examples i HATE the java bracket style the most, i find it hard to read and irritating.

Unnecessary line breaks Actually I do prefer having more things on one line in many cases so there's less scrolling up and down but matter of taste I suppose and there are always #regions anyway.

you.suck = (you.passion != Programming)I don't think you'd like my code. I often use the bracket style in number 1 (mostly for loops or if statements) I'll always skip the brackets in an if statement if there's only one line and my get sets go like this: public thing stuff { get { return } set { value } } It just saves so much white space. Anyway, its only preference.
