    how about?

    // enumerating i from 0 to 10 (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
    // printing i to the console (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
    Console.WriteLine(i);
    // TODO should do something more useful later (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
    }

    A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

    That one is actually useful - it triggers Visual Studio to add it to the Tasks List. Visual Studio Tasks List[^]

          UNless it's changed in 2k10 I don't think the task list is particularly useful outside of VB because of non-overridable language specific behavior. In VB it shows all the TODOs in the solution. In C# it shows all the TODOs in open files. In C++ it shows all the TODOs in the file being edited. The latter two are near useless in larger projects. Instead I litter my .cs files with #warning TODO blah... lines.

                      1992-08-02 (or thereabouts), but I still print my code occasionally. Nowadays I use Word and I have a header that indicates the filename and pages.

                              The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.

                                    Not only worthless comments, but also funny, seen in the assembly code of DG AOS/VS (can anyone remember it?) In the code executed when one shut down the system: < some code > HALT HALT ;JUST IN CASE The HALT instruction stopped the CPU completely In the panic code - executed when there was an error which the OS couldn't handle: < some code > ; I don't know how you got here, but you're in deep s**t Jerry

                                      If DG == Data General, I'm not surprised. I used a DG 'Nova 4' system one time, a very long time ago. Regarding the doubled HALT instruction, that's also not too surprising. Depending upon the interrupt architecture and when they increment the program counter, I could see a glitch between decoding the HALT instruction and its execution causing the code to continue executing.
