Promoted to a management position, where you can't do any more damage. :-D

And somehow I read that as I hate camelToe. It's Friday alright.

In an odd way that works too, as I have arthritis in my big toes from 20 years of running, and that joint no longer bends beyond about 10°.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A.

Seriously? Why? What do you do instead?

I use PascalCase for global scope, lower_case for local scope, private and protected members prefixed by '_'. Yes, StyleCop throws a hissy fit over my code. I don't care. camelCase doesn't provide enough visual differentiation from PascalCase for me and my middle-aged visual infirmities.

My biggest complaint about the name is that you spend over half of it replicating the type (listOfThreeListsOfByteArray), which smacks of Hungarian notation (makes the sign of the cross in your direction). The RowThenColumn part implies a matrix of some kind, and the ScaledColorChannel sounds like it actually describes the values in the matrix. Why not ScaledColorChannelMatrix and call it a day?

var listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneScaledColorChannel = new List<byte[,]>[3];
listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneScaledColorChannel[0] = new List<byte[,]>();
listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneScaledColorChannel[1] = new List<byte[,]>();
listOfThreeListsOfByteArrayRowThenColumnOfOneScaledColorChannel[2] = new List<byte[,]>();

[Gary Wheeler]

var ScaledColorChannelMatrixListTable = new List<byte[,]>[3];
for (int i = 0; i < ScaledColorChannelMatrixListTable.Length; i++)
{
ScaledColorChannelMatrixListTable[i] = new List<byte[,]>();
}

do I hear banjos in the background?

I suppose camelCase is better than camelToe...

I use COWCase a lot.

That's how you know you're doing things right. :thumbsup:

Sure that's not PARTONcase? :cool:

You are clearly management material. Promote/fire yourself out of programming and as a manager, mandate that all variables should now be complete sentences with optional prepositional phrases. In your spare time, write a Lint utility that verifies compliance. Marc

That is very MOOOOOving.
