Try a project written by a sucksession of contractors all of whom codded differently badly with simple aspx pages with 2k+ line code behinds. The contractors are long gone. Then anyone with even passing knowledge of how the application works doesn't have time to waste on explaining fertilizer ( think organic) to you. Can you get this done by tomorrow?

Hmmm... If you know what the program's supposed to do, then I'd advise you to delete it and write a new one... by the time you figure out how this crap works, you might as well have done that anyway.

You didn't say how legacy "legacy" is, but there are always logical reasons for these things.
The first reason is that someone was making changes and didn't get around to making the change everywhere.
The meaning of the magic code 97 can be found on a note pasted under the system operator's keyboard.
The print routine call is a masterpiece of software engineering that allows you to call different routines with the same code.
You have a remarkably stable database to be able to stand firm for a thousand years. I would be grateful.
The toga might be allowed on some casual Fridays. I would check into it.

That's my code you're complaining about.  Seriously though, I've run into code like this and you're almost better off rewriting from scratch when it's this bad.

Sounds like the problems I face on a day to day basis...
What I try to do is first of all figure out what is required of me. Then, very carefully inject what I need to do somewhere that looks appropriate. The key is to move things around but keep what is does and when it does it.

Moving from "old school" GWT to UI Binder is not "getting current".
Elephant elephant elephant, sunshine sunshine sunshine

It can be... I mean, trying to use UIBinder with generic classes kinda feels like getting a large amount of current shunted through your skull...

I'm shocked that you would say such a thing.

Sorry, thinking about GWT just got me a little amped up... I couldn't resist.

I would have upvolted that, only if you two had difference in your potential.
You have just been Sharapova'd.
|
|
|
|
|
You don't upvolt things. I guess you can't be a transformer then, oh well.
I'm not very funny. Sorry.
