B is clearly the correct case. I suspect the only reason anyone ever even thought about doing A is that publishers wanted code snippets to take up less space in printed books, so a lot of printed example code looked like that. :rolleyes: "I'd be up a piece if I hadn't swallowed my bishop."

How do you guys bracket your code? A:
if(true){
DoSomething();
DoSomethingElse();
}B:
if(true)
{
DoSomething();
DoSomethingElse();
}C: Other ~Nitron.

startB. However, there are a couple cases where I stray, such as private string _MyString; public string MyStringProperty { get { return _MyString; } set { _MyString; } } of course, if there is more than 1 line in the get or set I expand it.

startBrace yourself - I use mostly A. I use B if: a. I need readability (eg lots of nested blocks) b. I'm working with someone else's code, and its B. c. I hit enter by mistake. Somtimes I use C. So, in brief ?abc : B, (A || C) Or A before B except after abc. See? Simple really. Once you get the 'hang' of it. In any case, those were my indentions.

"I do" is both the shortest and the longest sentence in the English language.

startWho is the jack--- voting everyone down who says "B" is the best, but won't post a message saying why "A" is better??? I have only seen 1 message in support of A, and it is only partial support. Whoever you are, stop being childish, if you like "A", post a message and say why you like it, just as the rest of us have done! "I'd be up a piece if I hadn't swallowed my bishop."

startB. I think people who use A should be flogged and committed to an asylum. Or forced to code in VB. :-D Vikram.

Indeed, that's what most supporters of style A say as well. Nothing wrong with that, but I still believe that style was from a time long ago, when screens were only 25 lines long, and a lot of code was printed in books, and space was a premium. Just a guess, though. Michael P Butler wrote: From which we all learnt our first steps into C.

Ian Darling "One of the few systems...which has had “no deaths” in the reliability requirements." - Michael Platt
I say 4 spaces, even if for no other reason than that is the default in VC6 and VC.NET. :-O The only times I see 3 spaces being used are when there are groups of 2 spacers and 4 spaces of about equal sizes, so they reach a compromise. :-D "I'd be up a piece if I hadn't swallowed my bishop."
