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

Already looking

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

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!

Yeah that's pretty horrible. I hate people over-abstracting... nooooooooooo point.

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

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

The heck with localization.

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

But ... but it's so FLEXIBLE! ;)

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.
