It was the 13th hour of the 13th day of the 13th month...

So here's the code for an appointment management WebPart a previous programmer did:
DateTime primer = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, 1);
DateTime ultimo = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month + 1, 1);So obviously the thingy stopped working exactly today, as Schmarz is not yet recognized as a month... Sigh. :sigh:
the real WTF is, that this may fail in the very rare case, when the year switches between the evaluation of DateTime.Today.Year and DateTime.Today.Month, leading to a primer one year back in the past... but this may not be an issue if the code will not be executed during new years eve ;)

LOL. *points and laughs loudly at incompetance* No excuses for this one.

You need to convince your employer that their calendars are wrong. Admitting mistakes in code cannot end well.
Hehehe, actually, aside from me being called at 4 A.M., it turned out pretty well for us: the other software company got their asses kicked off of the project, and we already got another project with this customer... So, all in all, it worked for us!

Yes, it is bad but understandable. The equivalent of that code works just fine in Excel, for example. Try "=Date(2011,Month(Today())+1,1)" and you get 1/1/2012 which seems sensible to me. It's a coding style I have used for years. No excuses, I'm just saying.
I don't think it's "understandable" when an ASP.Net programmer makes a mistake like this. Presumably they weren't hired for their Excel skills?

The coding horror is when you see the same Code Project Discussion two days in a row. That's horrible.

DateTime ultimo = primer.AddMonths(1);
ftfy.

Reminds me of a project I worked on in 1992. I was controlling a piece of hardware which had its own real-time clock. We discovered that it did not handle the rollover for leap year correctly, so we reported a bug to the developer for the firmware on the device. He 'solved' the problem by disallowing setting the date to the month of February :rolleyes:.
