Try....Catch
-
I would have explained to him had he asked. I am not bragging about my programming abilities. I honestly think my boss is a better programmer than me. However he is so out of touch with how I do what he instructs me to do . I am 100% comfortable with this....i think my job is very secure. He should just stop disturbing me thats all. I would explained to him the syntax in 5 minutes but that would have encouraged him to continue disturbing me. By the way I do not think your Einstein analogy is appropriate for this situation.

Working for a small IT firm I was not making much progress on a project using VB.NET so my boss who was once a programmer (VB6) decided to do some pair programming with me. We googled some code that had a try..catch block, the dude had no idea that the "Try" part was part of the code. He thought the author was saying i should try the code below. I stopped straight away and told him to go back to his office. Guess I should have asked what he thought the catch part was for. My advice to all owners of all small software development firms ; have some idea of what technologies and programming languages your employees are using to make all those products that bring in all that money for you.Dont emabarass yourself!
