    if (_Uptime != null)
    {
    _Uptime.Remove(TraCommon.Tokens.TraService_Speed);
    }
    {
    _Uptime = new Service.Message();
    _Uptime.Code = SysCommon.CommandCode.SysUptimeEvt;
    }

    I just found this in my code. It's been there for years.

    :laugh: It took me a while... and even that I haven't written a line of code in years, I found the mistake. This is the reason why I started coding "if" constructs (and the like) with empty bodies even when they where short.

    if()
    {
    }
    else
    {
    }

    Only after that I filled in what had to be filled in.

        You could always lie and say the blame was falsely attributed due to corruption.

        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

          Embarassing3: I'm the SourceSafe *cough* data base *cough* admin, which means I'm responsible for ensuring the integrity of our source control system. Besides, this is far from the worst bug I've ever fixed that had been around for a while.

            Writing a whole lot of C# that, while it makes FxCop whine like a teenager when the mall closes early, works remarkably well.

              That should make it even easier to "fix". :-\

                  I doubt it. There's nothing to differentiate this case from a normal if statement followed by a scope block.
