    His calls to this function are to set a date variable = function call. He literally used this function for nothing. My solution was :

    myVariableName = new Date(..yada..yada..yada...)

    Every numeric variable he declaired in the entire project was a long.

    If it moves, compile it

      Well, at least he wasn't stringing you along. GROAN!

          It seems to me that you are turning regular expressions into puns for amusement.

            I am just trying to move this thread along, but it seems that it is not synchronizing.

              Function SetDate(ByVal nYear As Long, ByVal nMonth As Long, ByVal nDay As Long, ByVal nHour As Long, ByVal nMinute As Long, ByVal nSecond As Long) As Date
              Dim dTemp2 As New Date(nYear, nMonth, nDay, nHour, nMinute, nSecond)
              Return dTemp2
              End Function

              really? This is probably one of the best things this guy has done so far. I was advised not to put his code on this forum though. This one I just couldn't help.

              It's obvious this guy added the SetDate implementation to a class that implements the IDateRepository in order to facilitate dependency injection and the factory pattern! All the better I say. Should minimize the impact of the Y3K bug and enable unit testing of date functionality against realistic data.

                I'm starting to see a pattern emerge here.

                  Let me guess: that guy used to work with VB6, and now he ports many "useful" functions from his year-long experience to VB.NET.

                    Yes. He fought using .net in the first place, would not attempt to learn c#, and forces everything to work as if it were still vb6.

                    If it moves, compile it
