That means you must win tomorrow ( we all know you like winning Fridays ) so it better be good - with this lock down I haven't got much else to amuse myself with { evil grin }

Did you hear about the confused and constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil.

Is that the Robert Downey one about the constipated detective?
I think it’s called:
“No Sh*t Sherlock”
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Doctors are at a loss as to its cause [^], but ms engineers say that if they're not soon given instructions on what to make next, they may have to fall back to just fixing bugs.

MS has spent millions of dollars on icon creation over the years. Which, is just crazy to me.
people like their icons, I guess.

It's less crazy when you consider that one of the most successful IT companies is a lot about form and less about function.
People love form, first impressions and all that.
I'm talking about Apple, of course.
See it like this, if it wouldn't return the investment they wouldn't do it.
And to be fair, they do have a lot of icons so costs are automatically high.
New icons have a practical use as well, it helps in keeping different versions apart.
You should check the comments here, someone posted the icons of VS 2005 to 2017: VS 2017 RTM icon is not contrast enough on some backgrounds - Developer Community[^]
Good stuff

No-one suggested using Resource Hacker [^] to change the icons?
It's easy as pie; just open the main exe in RH (after taking a panic-back-up copy), then:- Select the icon in the list of resources
- choose Action > Replace icon
- Click the Open file with new icon button
- Navigate to the main exe of the version of VS whose icons you prefer, and open it
- Pick the icon you want, and save (it automatically does all sizes).
It's been the same process since at least XP, and it ain't exactly rocket surgery.
I have to do it every time Xplorer2 updates, because I hate the bright orange icon that comes with the Ultimate version.

I know the problem.
It ain't like riding a bike -- if you don't do something for a long time, you forget how to do it.

(I was torn between putting these here or in the C# forum, but it not really a serious question...)
Given a simple string
const string _str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
put the following equivalent code blocks in order of their speed:
if ( _str.Contains("~")) {....}
if ( _str.Contains('~')) {....}
if ( _str.IndexOf("~") >= 0) {....}
if ( _str.IndexOf('~') >= 0) {....}
if ( _str.IndexOf("~", StringComparison.Ordinal) >= 0) {....}
Hint: there are three tiers --- One is the clear winning. Two others are about the same, significantly behind, and the last two are about the same, way behind the others.

I did cheat, and run a quick console app.
But D seems fastest, very closely followed by B. Barely really.
Then A, and behind A is E.
Slowest is C.

Hmmmm Very interesting results.
I ran my test using BenchmarkDotNet, with a longer string, with a "~" near the end.
Now, the whole point of this was that I found some code using A, and I figured that B should be faster.
So, I ran the test-- and in mine, B came out way last.
Studying it source code, I found that A just redirects to E, so they were nearly the same.
B, however, uses String's IEnumerable<char> interface to run the Enumerable.Contains<char>() extension method, which is why it was last.
C I tried, mistakenly thinking it would be the same as E. It came out nearly tied with B for last.
D was my overall winner as well.
So, it seems you are experiencing a String.Contains(char) which is specific for strings, which I am not seeing.
I ran the tests on .NET 4.6.1. Are you using .NET Core?
Truth,
James
