      I like the optimistic (and useless) initialization of port in this snippet. :)

      int port = 4401;
          Int32.TryParse(strPort, out port);
          peer.EndPoint = new IPEndPoint(address, port);

      /ravi

        I'm fine with that. When debugging, you might want to skip over the call to TryParse yet have a valid value in Port.

          In that case I would #if DEBUG it. The way it's written implies the developer assumes port will have the value 4401 if the Int32.TryParse() fails. /ravi

                Well, since that's the wrong spelling for 'length' it's safe to assume it will only be called by an error - so if it recalls itself until it crashes, nothing's really been lost, anyway. Thus, the balance is restored in this, the best of all possible worlds.

                  You can manually set values for variables while debugging C#, so initialization isn't necessary (but convenient nonetheless, although I'd remove it when done debugging) :)

                            That was my first thought: It should generate a stack overflow (regardless of the language). I'm not so skillfull with C# but recent C++ compilers will throw a warning for such code. And I guess the C# compiler will do that too (both with higher warning level). Then they did not even test their code but compile it also with a low warning level.

                            This usually happens by accident when they implement the property before defining the accompanying field. It's happened to me a couple of times. I compile at the highest warning level and VS2013 doesn't catch this error at compile time.A "self-referencing property" compile-time warning would be nice to have.

                                  There was a video by Veritasium, on how Spanish needs more or less double the words in order to convey the same amount of information, compared to English. Relate the video to the fact that the 'get length' appeared to have been written twice, you get a joke. Well it's funny now that I had to explain everything but nonetheless, nice effort kmoorevs.

                                    I suspect that the code comes from a keyboard dyslexic like myself. Since he/she regularly mis-types lenght (see?) they though it would be a good idea to cater for it... unofrtuantely they misspselt it in the function too.

                                      That is a lot of emotions to be felt at once. Are you alright? ;P

                                        It's not about patterns, it's about stupid code: that won't return, it will overflow the stack. Shows the level of testing they did on the rest of the code as well. :sigh:

                                        What else would expect from a coder who can't spell 'length' ?

                                          This is why I use a VS extension: Spell Checker - Visual Studio Marketplace[^] it marks up my strings and comments, if not my variable names!
