...so, how should I celebrate? I'm torn between getting off the computer and giving my eyes a rest and sitting on CP and Stack Overflow answering questions.

Very nice! I soooo want to b*tch about the use of "this." everywhere, but I'll refrain. Oops! Marc :-O

Thanks :cool: I don't really care for the libraries in my area. And, as you well know, I'm a Phoenix/Metro area guy. There's probably not a whole lot of nightlife on a Tuesday night :doh:

I actually like to use "this." for members of a class... I feel it makes the code more clear. More verbose, sure, but more clear. I guess it could go either way... really a stylistic choice.

Exactly; like specifying access modifiers when they're not needed. But I thought I was the only one who did that.

Yeah, same here. I never leave it as just "class SomeClass"... I always change it to "public class SomeClass" or "internal class SomeClass" or what have you. Same with members of the class. I feel it adds to readability. And since you can just group all the private variables together (I don't usually use variables on a class of any other access modifier), all the "private " parts line up vertically, and so can be skipped over by a reader fairly effeciently.

I just updated the article to include VB.NET code, so if you want to bitch about the use of "
Me." everywhere, you can do that too :-DAdam Maras | Software Developer Microsoft Certified Professional Developer

Typically, by refreshing the page every 30 seconds, and falling into a state of hate, agony and despair on the first <=3 vote.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Huh, so first the was no "I" in "article", now there's "Me" all over it? :-D

You can't bitch if the low vote is explained by a comment. I had one idiot vote all my articles down, presumably because I irritated him in the forums. The votes were removed but the chicken tracks are still there :laugh:

What's wrong with that? It's even a Style Cop guideline :-)

Remember FORTRAN? (You might not. How old are you? :-O ) REAL was any variable that started with a letter in the set A-H, O-Z INTEGER any that started in the set I-N The compiler will figure out what I meant, no need to spell it out. The next guy on it is at least as smart as me. Otherwise he would be doing boring original code instead of exciting maintenance. He can figure it out the first time second time, every time 60% of the time. ;P So, how is _not_ using access modifiers any different from not specifying the type of a variable in VB? Ha, ha, just truthing. :laugh: Actually, maintenance CAN be exciting. But not usually in a good way. :~ And you clearly didn't hit a nerve with me. X|

I insist on using it, especially if the guy that doesn't do it also doesn't use "m_" to indicate member variables in a class. That's the only way you can really discern local method vars from global class vars...

True - more people should use StyleCop.
It's almost impossible to get a clean run with style cop... I stopped using it for that very reason. EDIT - It may be FXCop I'm thinking of... In any case, I try to avoid cops...

Jystad, 2001FXCop - which deals with compiled code - can be a PITA, but it does catch some nice things (like int overflow). StyleCop only deals with source code - what it looks like and the order of items in a file. The Law
