oh, now this is fun.
July and july for starters, but you can have other languages as well. In dutch it's pretty straightforward "juli", but in French that becomes juillet, spanish=julio and croatian apparently returns "srpanj"

I challenge you to pronounce you if you're not slavic  (I am, btw)
R in sRpanj is hard as when the russian speaks english in movies and nj is single letter pronounced like New without U

I was a bit mystified why property change notifications (INotifyPropertyChanged) were being raised for non-existent properties in our project.
Turns out some "bright spark" had the innovative idea of using them as a general event mechanism, presumably to save all the effort of declaring an event type.
I may have to persuade the company to buy all developers a copy of "Clean Code".

A property doesn't have to be a Property to be a property.

ehr..
For me it is a code-snippet in VS. Four seconds, five tops, tada, event. How much effort does declaring an event take at your company?

About the same, I'm still kinda mystified.

At least it's consistent. Don't you hate all those inconsistencies?

Exactly how is this being done? If the property doesn't exist, then where is this case being implemented? Can you show in a code snippet?
I have never seen this done for something other than notifying the client, of a property value change.
Wow.

In our code, it is all done via our own MVVM framework.
I have a SetProperty method defined on a base class, using a [CallerMemberName] argument to specify the property, which performs the following actions:
- If the value has not changed, exit immediately.
- Use Reflection to check the property specified actually exists.
- Call a method
RaisePropertyChange to raise the event.
RaisePropertyChange is designed to allow firing notifications on derived properties when a base property or other change occurs that would affect their value (similar to most MVVM frameworks). Effectively this just triggers the PropertyChanged event, passing a property name as a string.
Note however that (perhaps unwisely) I didn't use reflection in RaisePropertyChange to check the property exists. The dev in question simply called this method, passing a string that doesn't correspond to a property name. I guess I didn't consider the probability of someone being that daft.
(I've now added the code to check - shame as it decreases the efficiency somewhat as it has to use Reflection to check each property access, but it costs to defend against stupidity. I'm just glad all this is in a managed language, I dread to think what would happen if these muppets were let loose on C++).

Same here... I wonder if that is a source code or a sleep typing.
