    And how did they escape from kindergarten? This time, my code looks like this:

            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load(@"D:\\Test Data\\author.xml");
            xd.PreserveWhitespace = true;
    

    And the final line has a "screwdriver" to show a "fix this suggestion" is available. And there are four options:

    1. Introduce a constant for "true"
    2. Introduce a constant for all occurrences of "true"
    3. Introduce a local constant for "true"
    4. Introduce a local constant for all occurrences of "true"

    That's embarrassing. Visual Studio no longer considers true or false to be constants in C# ... :-O

    Solution - turn off the code suggestions feature

      But what is "true"? Is your "true" the same as mine?

              I remember one FORTRAN programmer that didn't trust 'em. He used to write code like this:

              if (a == b)
              ...
              else if (a != b)
              ...
              else
              ...

                    Yeah, well.. It's up to you what you're going to use a screwdriver for. If you decide to clean your windows with it it is your own fault. If they'd know that their suggestion is right it would become a compiler error anyways.

                      As millennials populate overseer positions with even younger ones under them, critical and "non critical" system failures will increasingly become more and more, the norm. like elevators and medical care. We're done for.

                        Exactly. And much of Resharper too. There's enough nanny state in the real world without it appearing in your IDE as well.

                          Well, you know that true could true for very large values of false, so you might as well plan ahead.

                            Googled and got this : true and false are lowercase reserved keywords. So yeah, 'true' is not a constant. The suggestions aren't wrong.
