    Mine is, "// TODO Still a big f*****g mystery why Category object in KpiAggregateCriteria has null UnitOfMeasure and DisplayFormat." It is in fact because EF doesn't load association sets automatically, unless they are explicitly projected in your query.

        Actually it is not mine but I have read it in one of maintenance project. It was... //.. Do not unblock below commented code .. it is highly error prone ..// and it was containing sooo many try catch blocks. :~

            That one is so common, IDE's should come with a preconfigured keyboard shortcut for that!

            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]

              A real IDE should handle itself the error... BTW real programmers don't use IDEs (they use ideas, maybe). :-D

                      I tend to comment those like this in C++: assert(!"TODO: Handle error!"); or System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(false, "TODO: Handle error!"); in C#.
