I wonder, why u had to use recursion/goto at all:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var Stuff = loadStuff();
}

private List loadStuff()
{
var Stuff = new List();
do
{
foreach (Node thing in Node.GetCurrent().Children)
{
Stuff.Add(thing);
}
Stuff = ShuffleNodeList(Stuff);
}
while (blablabla);
return Stuff;
}

infallible validation using Javascript

that was a nice one :D

too sad you can't override the assignment operator in c#

the real WTF is, that this may fail in the very rare case, when the year switches between the evaluation of DateTime.Today.Year and DateTime.Today.Month, leading to a primer one year back in the past... but this may not be an issue if the code will not be executed during new years eve ;)

omg yes it's PASCAL ... guess the horror is the fact, that there is no need for the outer IF, because it could be handled inside the CASE as well

no, this is the VB way of comparison

He just spoiled the spoiling

that's pure evil :) hopefully, there is no switch statement using this constant...

there is an obvious flaw in this code, it should read like:

if (Status == "something")
{
randomValue = true;
}
else if (Status != "something")
{
randomValue = true;
}
else
{
randomValue = true;
}

an elegant solution would be to put the controls in question into a dedicated collection and iterate over this

It's never a good idea to provide multiple ways to do the same thing

What I meant was: GetFullName(null, "middle", "last") => "last" GetFullName("first", "middle", null) => "first" isn't accomplished by your expression... but as well doesn't justify the code of horror in the OP

Of course it would be:

manager.AddToManager("String1", New ListInterfaceClass({New Example1, New Example2, New Example3}))

have you looked at the ParamArray keyword? It allows you to declare a function that takes a variable number of parameters and handles them as an array... so you don't need no curly braces

You missed the condition, that the middle name should be omitted if first or last is missing... :cool:
