Paid per line of code???

A stringbuilder to concatenate two strings is overkill, you could just use string.Concat, it has the same benefits of the StringBuilder without the overhead of creating an object and without any risk that memory needs reallocated multiple times. You should only use stringbuilder if the size of the resultant text can't easily be known, or if you know you are going to do a lot of concatenation.

I agree it's ugly, could it be that orphan was used in other places at some point?

That's what I thought, maybe the variable was originally used elsewhere but that code deleted and this not tidied up. Also compiler optimisation would probably fix this code anyway.

That's what I hoped but I checked through the revision history and no sign of it being used.

How ugly that code is with its inconsistent naming! Tell those poor code monkeys to clean it up: it must be
boolOrphaninstead oforphan, andstrMessageinstead ofmessage! How come it they forgot half of their VB6 wisdom?Hungarian Notation: For when intellisense just seems too hard.

'False' Hungarian uses the prefixes to describe types. Instead, the prefixes were intended to describe the usage of the variable. Remember such things as 'lpstr', a long pinter to a string terminated by zero? Can Intellisense do that as well?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

I apologize for maligning Hungarian Notation. I may have simply lost my mind after seeing lblLabel one too many times.

That's why I still like oldschool machine code. You can't do very much wrong with hexadecimal. :-)
