    A colleague of mine is rather fond of not using {} - even over several levels, i.e.

    if (...)
    if (...)
    for (...)
    if ()
    doSomething();
    doSomeOtherthing();

    That's why I use the Edit - Advanced - Format Document feature of Visual Studio very often...

      I'm one of those insecure types who always uses braces, unless the if() fits on a single line.

      Me too, but a colleague uses different code formatting and he always auto-formats files so the one-line if-statements turn into 2-line if-statements (with no braces).

        Seen a couple of those in an older code base :) Wasn't always a happy debugging experience :)

          That's really awful! In our company we altogether made a programming styleguide and {} has to used everytime (and it has to follow the structure and shall not be places on the next line). I like this styleguide! We have good readable code everywhere now. :rolleyes:

              Eh. In my eyes it's ridiculous. Thousand lines between the code that make it unreadable. X|

                Not always: I'm happy with

                if (a == 1 && b == 2)

                But I'd use em for

                if (a == 1 && (b == 2 || c == 3))

                Or

                if ((a == 1 && b == 2) || c == 3)

                Just to make it obvious what I meant.

                A colleage of mine always does if ((a == 1) && (b == 2)) while I always do if (i < (n - 1)) Fortunately regarding other styles we use the same format.

                  Now I see: it is a ";" - and nothing else:

                    Fortunately C# cured me of that one - it won't let you write

                    if (1 && 2)

                    Because that applies a boolean operation to two integers, so there is no confusion possible with

                    if (a == 1 && b == 2)

                    But in C and C++, I used to use the brackets as well! :laugh:

                            Given that this product consists of over 1.2 million lines of code (that was the count two years ago), it's a variant of four products built from the same code base, and they're all maintained by the same group of six overworked developers, who has time for code reviews? The good news is our testers found the problem.

                                Our test group (a fine bunch of folks, actually) found the problem. I posted my original message here because I thought the missing else keyword was funny. Apparently you agile, oops, pardon me, Agile folks don't find such things humorous. I really would like to do code reviews, given the chance. Tell you what. Here are my shoes. Take a walk in them, and let me know when you find the management support and the extra time to do code reviews. I'll wait.

                                  Ditto - also I am becoming a firm believer in white space being good in code as it makes it much easier to read.

                                    Mandatory code fix post - Why you not do inline:

                                    Synchronize.Visibility = _Framework.DuplexPlatform ?
                                    Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;

                                    :-D

                                    I agree that a ternary should be used when apropriate, but I prefer a more explicit formatting.

                                    Synchronize.Visibility = _Framework.DuplexPlatform
                                    ? Visibility.Visible
                                    : Visibility.Collapsed;

                                    A ternary operetar is used rarely enough to expose it.

                                        Eh. In my eyes it's ridiculous. Thousand lines between the code that make it unreadable. X|

                                        Stop! You're both wrong. Allman style and expand tabs to spaces. Heresy! In my code base only one type of whitespace is allowed (ya ya I don't consider newlines to be whitespace).

                                          Our test group (a fine bunch of folks, actually) found the problem. I posted my original message here because I thought the missing else keyword was funny. Apparently you agile, oops, pardon me, Agile folks don't find such things humorous. I really would like to do code reviews, given the chance. Tell you what. Here are my shoes. Take a walk in them, and let me know when you find the management support and the extra time to do code reviews. I'll wait.

                                          Where I worked a few years ago, we did code reviews even when rushed because we found that they reduced the amount of development time, even when rushed... no especially when rushed.
