Impossible. This is an old school VB programmer. You can clearly see this from the above snippet (I'm not saying it's somehow bad VB6 code, but that it for sure is VB6 code). There must be sth. wrong here... :confused: Regards Thomas

Well I can imagine that at some point he did work with vb6 (hell even I did) but this was written in .NET. And his resume did say 5 years experiance in C#.NET but we (my boss and I) do think he had been lying a bit, since after he was fired here he told one off our customers (where he was being interviewed for a hardware maintenance position) he had experiance in maintaining servers. He could barly keep his desktop pc running while he was here so... (he was actually not allowed to come anywhere near our servers :-P ) The guy had the tendancy to overcomplicated things (currently working on another one off his programs to get the CPU usage and Ram usage down since it olmost takes 100% CPU and more than 100mb ram, for a programme without GUI that's alot)

Sure, it allows for bad coding style as well - as every other programming language does even more. Do you really blame C# for being a language that does not impose on its user what to say with it?? Do you have a car that forces you to adhere to traffic rules? Does your money tell you what to buy with it? ... :wtf: Regards Thomas
Right - and think about the possibilties of "bad coding" e.g. in C++ (add some mystic macros - done) vs. C#.. I think C# is a lot cleaner and full of nice features. The best programming language I know... (I used one or two during my career... :) )

Recently, I stumbled across this little gem. I don't have the exact code handy, but the gist of it is:
nErrorCode = cFtpConn.SetHost(HOST);
if (nErrorCode == 0)
{
nErrorCode = cFtpConn.SetUser(USERNAME);if (nErrorCode == 0)
{
nErrorCode = cFtpConn.SetPassword(PASSWORD);if (nErrorCode == 0) { nErrorCode = cFtpConn.SetPath(PATH); if (nErrorCode == 0) { nErrorCode = cFtpConn.SetFilename(FILENAME); if (nErrorCode == 0) { // Retrieve files, adding a few _more_ levels of `if` } else { Log("Error setting filename"); } } else { Log("Error setting path"); } } else { Log("Error setting password"); }}
else
{
Log("Error setting username");
}
}
else
{
Log("Error setting host");
}
