What's missing?

:laugh: I have gone the other way too many times, relying on the indentation...

if (_Framework.DuplexPlatform)
Synchronize.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
Synchronize.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

I'm one of those insecure types who always uses braces, unless the if() fits on a single line.

So am I, because I got caught before, back in my early C days...and it took ages to work out what the heck I had done wrong! :-O Nowadays, about the most I will let myself get away with is:

if (value > maxRange) break;

Everything else gets curly brackets :laugh:

Do you fully parenthesize too? I'm lazy, and never want to remember the precedence rules.

Not always: I'm happy with

if (a == 1 && b == 2)

But I'd use em for

if (a == 1 && (b == 2 || c == 3))

Or

if ((a == 1 && b == 2) || c == 3)

Just to make it obvious what I meant.

Mandatory code fix post - Why you not do inline:

Synchronize.Visibility = _Framework.DuplexPlatform ?
Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;

:-D

A colleague of mine is rather fond of not using {} - even over several levels, i.e.

if (...)
if (...)
for (...)
if ()
doSomething();
doSomeOtherthing();

That's why I use the Edit - Advanced - Format Document feature of Visual Studio very often...

OriginalGriff

You threw me there for a moment - I use CTRL+K, D (which does the same thing) :laugh:

wow, that's... that's horrible

Me too, but a colleague uses different code formatting and he always auto-formats files so the one-line if-statements turn into 2-line if-statements (with no braces).

Seen a couple of those in an older code base :) Wasn't always a happy debugging experience :)

That's really awful! In our company we altogether made a programming styleguide and {} has to used everytime (and it has to follow the structure and shall not be places on the next line). I like this styleguide! We have good readable code everywhere now. :rolleyes:

Philistine! Allman style[^] is the only way to go. ;P And while we're at it, it's tabs every time. Anyone who uses spaces to indent their code shall be shot.

Eh. In my eyes it's ridiculous. Thousand lines between the code that make it unreadable. X|

Agree! :thumbsup:

A colleage of mine always does if ((a == 1) && (b == 2)) while I always do if (i < (n - 1)) Fortunately regarding other styles we use the same format.

The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Now I see: it is a ";" - and nothing else:

if (_Framework.DuplexPlatform) ; // <= here the ; was missing
{
Synchronize.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
{
Synchronize.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

OriginalGriff

Fortunately C# cured me of that one - it won't let you write

if (1 && 2)

Because that applies a boolean operation to two integers, so there is no confusion possible with

if (a == 1 && b == 2)

But in C and C++, I used to use the brackets as well! :laugh:
