I love finding old comments....

Oh yes, inside comment blocks is the perfect place to put logic :laugh:
"The clue train passed his station without stopping." - John Simmons / outlaw programmer "Real programmers just throw a bunch of 1s and 0s at the computer to see what sticks" - Pete O'Hanlon "Not only do you continue to babble nonsense, you can't even correctly remember the nonsense you babbled just minutes ago." - Rob Graham
The only sure way to ensure no errors! (or no logic..)

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

public string GetFilePath(string relPath, string filename)

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 -

}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 ...

}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?

}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)
