          I know Sander isn't the best name to have in English... :( It's a very common Dutch name though. At one point during high school I knew six people named Sander. Rossel is a French name I think...

          It's an OO world.

          public class Sander : Lazy<Person>{
          public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
          }

            I actually googled both. There was a minister of war called Rossel in the Paris Commune. Dutch names are often hilarious in the UK, Twitter had a brief frenzy last week when people realised Martin Jol's brothers are called Dick and C0ck. Last place I worked the bloke in charge of IT in Benelux was called Ruud Suk. I would imagine Sander to be derived from Alexander or one of its forms. People in the UK called Alexander do sometimes go by the name Xander or Zander.

              Actually, I hate to be picky but I'd have thought a NotSupportedException would be more appropriate.

                  Sander is (potentially) an historically interesting name, at least as a "Hebrew name". It seems that during his conquests, Alexander the Great kept having this recurring dream about a man in white robes coming up to him with bread - and he seemed to win the following battle handily. When he arrived to conquer Jerusalem, the people new they were toast - so they sent out one of the city elders to try to avoid having the city sacked (raping, looting, and other typical stuff of the time). When Alexander saw the elder, approaching with the traditional bread+salt, it was right out of his dream. He accepted the surrender of the city (laid his usual tributes on them), and went on his way. As a token of thanks for being spared the general pillage, many of the newborn males of the generation were named after Alexander the Great. A name handed down to this day.

                        "So waht do Sander[^] and Ronseal[^] mean?" I guess their catchphrase hasn't work if you have to ask that.

                            Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                              JSOP doesn't need a secret identity. If JSOP wants to be someone else, he roundhouse kicks Chuck Norris and takes his identity. Oh, who am I kidding. JSOP would never kick someone when a gun would do. ;P

                                      Not that I've been very active for the last couple of months. I showed someone one of my articles a few days ago and he said I should use my real name so people know who writes those awesome articles. So, here it is. Hi all, my name is Sander Rossel, though you might know me as Naerling (for those of you who still remember me) :)

                                      It's an OO world.

                                      public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
                                      public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
                                      }

                                        Maybe I will go by my real name one of these days.

                                        I once used my real name but no one believed me.

                                          Sander is (potentially) an historically interesting name, at least as a "Hebrew name". It seems that during his conquests, Alexander the Great kept having this recurring dream about a man in white robes coming up to him with bread - and he seemed to win the following battle handily. When he arrived to conquer Jerusalem, the people new they were toast - so they sent out one of the city elders to try to avoid having the city sacked (raping, looting, and other typical stuff of the time). When Alexander saw the elder, approaching with the traditional bread+salt, it was right out of his dream. He accepted the surrender of the city (laid his usual tributes on them), and went on his way. As a token of thanks for being spared the general pillage, many of the newborn males of the generation were named after Alexander the Great. A name handed down to this day.

                                          Bit of history on CP... :thumbsup: But where did Alexander the Great get his name? ;) I believe Alexander means something like 'the saviour'. Well, a little Googling shows me I was close. My name will be added to that list, I might be destined to do great things ;p[^]

                                          It's an OO world.

                                          public class Sander : Lazy<Person>{
                                          public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
                                          }
