    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.
    }
    }

    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

      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

      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 ...

          Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Math is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

            I can remeber a comment in an old C++ class I came accross that made me laugh and cry at the same time: // I seriously have to get out of here.... ...all suddenly made sense ;)

              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?

                    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
