    Just found this gem whilst going over some old code..

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns a FQ path on the server for a relative path
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="filename"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public string GetFilePath(string relPath, string filename)
    {
    if (relPath.StartsWith("~/"))
    {
    return HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(relPath + filename);
    }
    else
    {
    return relPath + filename; //This ain't a virtual path mate.
    }
    }

      Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

        Oh yes, inside comment blocks is the perfect place to put logic :laugh:

              How about this for error handling comments:

              Try
              .
              .
              .
              .
              Catch ex As Exception
              ' Hmmmm.....
              ' Obviously didn't think of something.
              Throw New ApplicationException("Exception Occured")
              End Try

                Found this in a ruby script yesterday. I wrote it almost 3 years ago.

                def syncAll()
                    # Do a force sync. IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!
                    sync(true)
                end

                  Hmmm... not only didn't think of something, but we'll mask the real exception with a generic one so no one else can figure it out either! :-D

                    A programmer with a degree in Philosophy, working for me years ago on commercially sold software, liberally sprinkled comments through out whatever he worked on.

                    My favorite was:

                    This MIGHT work!

                    I had it put on a plaque for him.

                      I left a comment for one of the page I coded for future developers.... /*Sentimental value attached to the part of the code which is redundunt now. */ It took me around 3 months to get everything working the way client wanted and at the end management decided to dump it ...

                          I found this last week.

                          // Remove this code.

                          Followed by a few lines of unnecessary code that had no effect in the context. And source control says the last modification on that file was in 2007! :doh:

                            A piece of C++ code from a certain popular game engine:

                            BasePort = 7777; // oh well.

                            Note that the network port is also configured in an ini file, but why bother using that?

                                Just found this gem whilst going over some old code..

                                /// <summary>
                                /// Returns a FQ path on the server for a relative path

                                public string GetFilePath(string relPath, string filename)
                                {
                                if (relPath.StartsWith("~/"))

                                }

                                I had to take over support of a vb6 program that had bounced around the dept a few times. One of the fixes documented before large section of commented out code was

                                'WVK: Removed WASL & write_file
                                ' Logging_file "Before weird ass sort loop (WASL)"

                                The commented out code was followed by

                                'Logging_file "After WASLoop, Before write"
                                'ansewer = write_file(In_Order(), in_order_nbr)
                                '
                                'm_blnOption = 1
                                'Unload Me
                                'WVK: thats better

                                  Great comment on implementing a custom GINA DLL when dealing with Remote Desktop... // Duplicate what the GINAFULL example does - this clears the TS session but // does not log the user in (although it was supposed to in the example) // Flush the toilet full of Micro$oft terminal server session entanglement sins here // then re-try sending the XXXXXX SAS from the servant service
