Illogical Logic

[Rob Grainger]

Its just as well we have a logic object here, as the programmer's grasp obviously leaves something to be desired.

If logic.doLogic(sender, "Update") Then
    flushMessages(sender.Page)
Else
    flushMessages(sender.Page)
    Exit Sub
End If

I should qualify, (before someone points it out) that this is at the end of the containing method, so the Exit Sub was redundant)

[Keith Barrow]

Pehaps the original coder thought

If not logic.doLogic(sender, "Update") Then
Exit Sub
End If

would mean his code is not logical, because of the Not logic statement :laugh:

Not the first horror of this type. I think that VB .NET programmers miss a RegardlessOf keyword. Usage:

RegardlessOf boolean-expression
a code block which is always executed
End RegardlessOf

A "whenever" keyword? What, is that for even simpler declaration of event handlers than VB already has?

[Lutoslaw]

I used a wrong word, it should be "regardless". I knew that sth was not right, thanks.

IMHO RegardlessOf is a very good choice you made. Especially when it's syntax would be RegardlessOf( condition ){ ... } Cheers!

I'm lovin' it! Put it right next to DoNothingWithThese(variable parameters). :laugh:

It also needs

AsIf unmeetable-condition
a code block which can never execute
End AsIf

and that essential scope modifier, "Unused"... as in

public unused Boolean FlagSomething = false;
