Class with comments that say "Do not use"
-
I came across this class today -
RenderingEventArgs. This is part of the SilverlightSystem.Windows.Medianamespace. When I tried to use it, intellisense gave me a message "Do not use". If you go to its definition, all thta the code comment tells me is "Do not use". Now that's interesting. Anyone else came across any class / namespace MS provides that says "Do not use". :)Wouldn't have classed that as a message for Coding Horrors, but more a question for the Lounge? The .net framework documentation is full of classes and methods that have 'Not to be used directly from user code, internal use only' or words to that effect.

The whole of VB? At least it should :-).

No problem, can't expect to make a statement like that without comment from the VBers knocking around :laugh:

If a can of gasoline had a picture with a lit match with an X through it, would that mean you would want to throw a lit match in the can. :)

So in other words, instead of a "Do not use" comment, it really should say, "Don't forget to cast". :)
