There is no good reason to code a messagebox like that. I'm put off because, like I said, EVERYTHING in this app is way over cooked. It takes FOREVERY to find something, and then FOREVER to make a small change.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Maybe they can switch one compile time flag or library and... Voila! it works on Mac or Linux?
Create your own wrapper/adpater on any vendor specific API.

You think that's bad, how about working with a class named VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo ?
|
|

This reminds me of my current workplace. All the C++ class are heavily templated(The one I am working on, 20 data members are generic), even integer type are templated(can use int32 or int64). Very versatile but very difficult to find and read code because intellisense is not working as it does not know the type used; F12 is not working. Development time is impacted. PITA everyday!

Yeah that's pretty horrible. I hate people over-abstracting... nooooooooooo point.

.UseButtons(MessageBoxOptions.OK).Show();
If I were to deal with code like this, the first thing I would do is sprinkle newlines everywhere...

So that's why Intel Atom wasn't a preferred processor after all.

At the risk of being pedantic what about sub-atomic particles? Logically atoms can't make them.

And what about the "empty" space between the sub-atomic particles?

And what about quarks[^] then? Neither atoms nor sub-atomic particles can make them.

Quarks are sub-atomic particles

Well in a way, but that would be like saying sub-atomic particles are atoms or atoms are molecules, wouldn't it?

"Particle" is a pretty generic term that describes a small amount of matter.
A particle can describe sand, dust, atoms, protons, neutrons, quarks, electrons or anything that makes up something larger.

Didn't someone say "pedantic"? 
In my defense, I would say when one says "sub-atomic", the idea generally converges to protons, electrons and neutrons. Of which, protons and neutrons are composed up of quarks. I was simply going after your post that atoms can't make up sub-atomic particles and simply meant quarks make up sub-atomic particles.

They also cook up molecules.
