How seriously do you handle them?

My default project is edited to include "Treat warnings as errors: All" and "Warning level: 4", as well as ticking "XML documentation file" - which gives a error if I forget the XML header for a public item. If your code has warnings, there is probably something you haven't thought of ... particularly if you are a beginner.

All warnings are on in VS2017, except for some obscure projects made by students, brrrrr X|

Visual Studio:
Quote:
warning CS0168: The variable '_ex' is declared but never used
Everybody else: The F! Me: ... So what, i need the Exception message!
if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_signature))
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + _signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

*SOB* Hey! Our code works! * * Or at least something almost similar if you disable the warnings.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Like any normal person: Completely ignoring them! :doh:

}I used to go through the code and clean those out but then I decided life was too short. When I did Delphi I would sometimes get a variable not initialized warning but when I initialized it I would get a value assigned but never used warning if the variable was in a try..except block.

Depends on the code, sometimes I am intending to do something a bit odd.

In my own code, I like to clean them all up. When compiling packaged software, say the latest version of gcc, I just do the configure/make/make install and ignore the warnings. ISTR a story about the linux kernel, long ago, where some helpful individual went through the code and cleaned up all the warnings. Which was great, until you tried to compile it for something other than an X86 - in which case either the build failed or the kernel broke. :doh:

I'm very OCD about warnings and even add checking for a dozen more obscure ones. I then pass my code through various analyzers. Many times, seemingly trivial warnings exposed more serious logical errors.

warnings from the compiler only proves to me the compiler doesn't understand my code.

It was already broken.

Would you still prefer Delphi over .Net ?
