Something original

Inheriting the maintenance of some 3rd party code today! Mused over it, looking at the compilation warningS.... I did find this piece of code, aw... I should say, while I know it's valid C#, it displays a creativity beyond my own!!!

public class DesignRegistrationSearchCriteria
{
public string Manufacturer { get; set; }
public string manufacturer { get; set; }
// ...
}

After all there are at least 2 types of manufacturers and one of them is with large M for the really iMportant ones :D

Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Makes sense. You wouldn't want people getting a compiler error because they mis-capitalized something. That said, there's 212 ways to capitalize "manufacturer". You have some work to do...

What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Argonia

You forgot the most important test case. I mean the empty string, but because you cant have empty string for variable name you have to take all the symbols available for variable name and make variables with them for names :)

Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

AlexCode

Difference between big and small M/manufacturers :) Still another thing puzzles me... being that name in plural and it's type a String... what value goes in there? Some kind of CSV? I think you have much more to worry about there mate... :D

Argonia

Its not in plural. I guess this is part of some filter functionality.

Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

AlexCode

Ah... :doh: I put it in plural... I guess you have to be careful with me then... :laugh:

Super Lloyd

True! :laugh:

That allows you to specify "Manufactured for Company X by Company Y".

A guy that worked here for 7 months left for us a mvc application that only has 1 view model for 17 views. Where do you think he put all the data? yes, on that view model. That thing has properties that differ only by casing, only by swapping 'c' with 'ç', only by using accentuation (like 'Região' and 'Regiao') and by all of that('regiao', 'região', 'Regiao', 'Região'). All of those properties have a different meaning. You're lucky that you only need to deal with low/upper case differences.

I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p) "Given the chance I'd rather work smart than work hard." - PHS241 "'Sophisticated platform' typically means 'I have no idea how it works.'"

Ho yeah! That's a better one hey!! :)

A *much* better version:

public class DesignRegistrationSearchCriteria
{
private string _Manufacturer;

private string \_manufacturer
{
   get { return \_Manufacturer; }
   set { \_Manufacturer = value;
}

public string Manufacturer
{
   get { return \_Manufacturer; }
   set { \_Manufacturer = value; }
}


public string manufacturer
{
   get { return \_manufacturer; }
   set { \_manufacturer = value; }
}

// ...

}

Coool. What does "regiao" mean, anyway? A LOT of :java::java::java:?

Portuguese for region, but he also has properties for coffe, 5 different types of coffe. And some bird species. Sadly, no woody woodpecker :sigh:

Lutoslaw

Is there a single property for each actual type of coffee or each type of coffee has it's own set of properties (with various accentation variants, like Blackcoffee, blackçcoffee, Milkçoffee, milçcoffee, etc..)?

Sentenryu

I could copy and paste the code and you wouldn't believe, you nailed it. Each type of coffe has it's own set of properties. I'm very luck that i don't have to deal with that code... yet...

Excuse me, but it is getting very interesting. Region + birds + coffee = :doh: . What kind of app would need all of those... tags [^]>? You are pulling my leg, don't you?
