#region

[Bernhard Hiller]

Sometimes I have the impression to work for Augeas[^] Stables Inc, but actually I am expected to produce more dung than to get rid of it... In the 13395 lines of code of the main window of one of our applications, I found this little gem (really little - only 320 loc) whose functionality I'll need in a new application (a little anonymized):

    /// <summary>
    /// some description
    /// </summary>
    private void DoSomething()
    {
        ...
        #region do X
        ...
        #endregion

        #region do Y
        ...
        #endregion

        #region do Z
        ...
        #endregion

        #region do A
        ...
        #endregion

        #region do B
        if (some condition)
        {
            #region do C
            ...
            #endregion
        }
        else
        {
            #region do D
            ...
            #endregion
        }
        #endregion
        ...
        #region do E
        try
        {
            switch (some swicth)
            {
                #region do F
                case ...
                    break;
                #endregion
                #region do G
                case ...
                    break;
                #endregion
                #region do H
                case ...
                    break;
                #endregion
                #region do I
                case ...
                    break;
                #endregion
            }
            ...
        #endregion
    }

Of course with some extra try...catch inside the regions or other try...catch. Well, at least, it looks like the functionality I need to transfer to the new application is - with the exception of some member variables - in that one single function, and not scattered all over the class... ;) "Have you heard of 'Clean Code' by Robert C. Martin? You can download it from the web", said the guy who uses to write such functions.

It's a form of modular code: each module goes in it's own region so you don't get the visual clutter associated with methods... :doh: X| Find a new job! Life is too short...

I'm guessing it's a regional issue.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

[BobJanova]

To write that and then quote Clean Code is a special level of genius!

If a little of something is good, then a whole lot of it must be better, right?

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

[Bernhard Hiller]

Why? In order to get experience with even more styles of WTF used in those different places?

[OriginalGriff]

So you're saying "better the crap you know"? :laugh:

I guess stupidity is not regional, it's universal :D

What? :wtf:

That's clean code, isn't it?
