    Navigator.PrepareMessageBox(TheApp.Messages.ErrorWarningMessages.StateProceduresMenuVM_MsgboxBody_OpenStateProcedureWithLock_2, stateProcedure.StateDescription, t.Result.LockMessage).UseButtons(MessageBoxOptions.OK).Show();

    I've been working at this place about a month now, and EVERYTHING is way too abstracted out... This is a classic example of over-coding something.. makes we want to find the guy who wrote and shake him violently.

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

    That's awful.  Much easier to just write (and faster to execute) as:

    MessageBox (hWnd,
    (LPCTSTR) "Warning"
    (LPCTSTR) "Please open the state procedure with a lock."
    MB_ICONINFORMATION | MB_OK);

    The heck with localization. /ravi

      Are you being required to write shit like that, too? If so, then leave.

          You're put off pretty quickly I have to say, this is really just superficial. Looks like the messages are localized, but other than that doesn't seem unnecessarily verbose.

            There is no good reason to code a messagebox like that. I'm put off because, like I said, EVERYTHING in this app is way over cooked. It takes FOREVERY to find something, and then FOREVER to make a small change.

              You think that's bad, how about working with a class named VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo ?

                This reminds me of my current workplace. All the C++ class are heavily templated(The one I am working on, 20 data members are generic), even integer type are templated(can use int32 or int64). Very versatile but very difficult to find and read code because intellisense is not working as it does not know the type used; F12 is not working. Development time is impacted. PITA everyday!

                    If I were to deal with code like this, the first thing I would do is sprinkle newlines *everywhere*...

                      Yes, but it's so much fun, Ravi... Been there, done that, got the UNICODE/UTF-8 scars to prove it.

                            Maybe they can switch one compile time flag or library and... Voila! it works on Mac or Linux? Create your own wrapper/adpater on any vendor specific API.
