    This isn't a programming question. I wrote this, and just did a DOH!! Can you spot the bug? QA submitted a ticket say that when the Delete Account button was clicked, and the user click No when asked to confirm, it still deleted the row.

    private void DeleteSelectedRows()
    {
    if (accountsUltraGrid.Selected.Rows.Count > 0)
    {
    string message = "Are you sure you want to delete the selected accounts?";
    if (MessageBox.Show(message, "Delete Accounts", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) ;
    {
    foreach (var gridRow in accountsUltraGrid.Selected.Rows)
    {
    Account account = gridRow.ListObject as Account;

                host.GetProxy().DeleteAccount(account);
                totalRowCount--;
            }
        }
    }
    

    }

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is

    As no one else has pointed it out, where were the unit tests? A comprehensive test would have picked this up long before.

          Unit testing user interface is hard and generally missed out. Since the bug was actually in the line that checked the UI response I can see how this could easily slip through testing.

              I think we've all done something similar. But this is a compiler warning, certainly in C# (actually I think I remember it being so all the way back to the Zortech ANSI C compiler I used to use aged 10), so you should have caught it.

                And this is why I love working with MVVM and WPF - that wouldn't have been user interface code (and it didn't actually need to be there in this case either).

                  Surely whatever framework you're using you're going to have a line like

                  if(DialogResult.Yes == MessageBox.Show( ... )){
                  modelView.DoDeleteRows(selectedRows);
                  }

                  ... in the UI layer? User confirmation in the UI is part of the requirement here. If you screw up that line, which is what happened here, your model-view and model code can be as perfect and as tested as you like and you can still make this mistake.

                    Nope. I'd use Dependency Injection to control the message box, so it would look something like this:

                    IMessageBoxService mbox = ServiceContainer.Resolve();
                    bool? result = mbox.Show("....")
                    if (result.HasValue && result)
                    {
                    DeleteRows();
                    }

                    There's no need to have a selecteRows property because this would have been handled with the binding.

                      That might be because there is no MessageBox.ShowDialog method... :-D

                        The real question is how did that get out of development? Clearly no one actually tested it, right?

                        There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                          That's a pretty adequate programming style when you want to test your maintenance programmers. Hardly anyone will spot it.

                            I have to admit, it took me a short while to see it. I was verifying parenthesis while thinking the compiler would have blown up if you forgot one. Then I had to go "DOH!" too.

                              This isn't a programming question. I wrote this, and just did a DOH!! Can you spot the bug? QA submitted a ticket say that when the Delete Account button was clicked, and the user click No when asked to confirm, it still deleted the row.

                              private void DeleteSelectedRows()
                              {
                              if (accountsUltraGrid.Selected.Rows.Count > 0)
                              {
                              string message = "Are you sure you want to delete the selected accounts?";
                              if (MessageBox.Show(message, "Delete Accounts", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) ;
                              {
                              foreach (var gridRow in accountsUltraGrid.Selected.Rows)
                              {
                              Account account = gridRow.ListObject as Account;

                                          host.GetProxy().DeleteAccount(account);
                                          totalRowCount--;
                                      }
                                  }
                              }
                              

                              }

                              If it's not broken, fix it until it is

                              Happened to me in c++ as a student, nearly gave up programming because of it :)
