That's right, this question does belong on the "Coding Horrors" board.

I've been frustrated the last couple of days trying to get multiple files to upload while still updating individual progress bars in a responsive WPF UI. I finished it this moring, and I came up with this oh so satisfying line:
<br />
fu.ui.UploadFile(fu.file);
I think that might be the coolest and most satisfying line of code I have ever written. 
You might see this line in Coding Horrors the next time some other coder runs across it!

I had one the other night:
if (car is Missing) return null;
(it's valid C#!)
|
|
|
|
|
Missing? I can only find that in the Microsoft.JScript namespace, unless you have your own Missing. If the former, it's very tentatively valid C#.
|
|
|
|
|
System.Reflection.Missing
|
|
|
|
|
Just another glaring indictment of the perpetual impotence of MSDN indexing, finding only the most obscure occurrence of the Missing class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
No doubt. I always use Google to search MSDN, not their own search.
|
|
|
|
|
i didn't know it ws posssible to serach msdn with the built in search function
|
|
|
|
|
That makes for a good technical interview question:
"In the .NET Framework base class library, what is the Missing class?"
Very zen-like, a bit like the missing link...

I'm trying to figure out how an old C application work.
i = 0;
while(i <= 1024) {
if(RxData[i] == 13 && RxData[i+1] == 10 && RxData[i+2] == 13 && RxData[i+3] == 10)
break;
i++;
}
PosBD = i;
i = PosBD;
EDIT: PosBD and i are declared as int.
Although the while body might be quite clever because it's fast (who's brave enough to understand where the code is used?), I really don't get the 2 final lines...

Well it's checking for 2 line returns so the first thing that comes to mind is SMTP or HTTP :P
Last 2 lines are just plain stupid.

First thing that came to my mind too .. though only a 1k limit, bit of a kicker with a long POST request.
I'm largely language agnostic
After a while they all bug me

Mayyyyybe PosBD is some class that has some assignment operator overload that does some crazy stuff behind the scenes... or maybe not.
Edit: Although C doesn't support operator overloading

So the last two lines are daft unless as suggested that they do something behind the scenes, but is this possibly looking for 2 consectutive LineFeed Carrige Returns??
ie ascii characters 10 = LF and 13 = CR ??
<edit> Ok, just realised thats what the first post pointed out!

Must be software for aircraft controlling systems. I heard that they always make things redundant, just in case...

Luckily, it's not that important.

I also hope that RxData has an array length of (at least) 1028, though somehow I doubt it.

PosBD = i; <br />
i = PosBD; <br />
I'd be suspicious that 'PosBD' doesn't hold the value of 1024 too well. But without seeing it's type, that's pure speculation.
