    I use the HACK to denote "the following code is a hack to work around some unexpected behavior." Especially where using components, it often turns out that the HACK was neccessitated by a bug that the component vendor may correct or Microsoft might change in future versions of the Framework. What do you use the HACK task for?

      Hi, I usually use the HACK task in the event that I need to employ a quick solution to a problem that may (or if not maintained) require a more well-thought out solution to a problem that had to be immediately addressed. The interesting thing about those types of additions are that they usually evoke thought as to what caused the problem and make one wonder if other parts of the code suffer from the same. Regards, Joe

        I use HACK as a variant on TODO. I use TODO if I know that the solution can be quickly developed and just needs my time to do it. I use HACK if I know I need a solution but the code may be complex and may need to prototyped. _____________________________________________ The world is a dangerous place.
