No, I'll wait until after my defense to celbrate. In the mean time, I've got a couple of leads on faculty positions. That would be my ideal outcome!

Congrats with the gopod news, the gopod must be some sort of ultra secret device presumably

Its a go-pod. That is where developer who use goto can hide safely.

Only my fingers know about the gopod, the news never got to my brain.
Sorry about the typo. After my stroke it happens more than before. Makes it darn hard to write a novel!!

Don't stress, you are the source of some lighthearted chuckle for us. That can't be a bad thing now, can it? Keep typing!

Gads, I don't think I could remember enough about something I wrote 4 years ago to defend it, particularly if it were a PhD thesis.
I'm curious, is the industry stable enough that what you wrote 4 years ago is still applicable?

Yes, I developed a mathematical model of an entire oilfield, including flow in the reservoir, downhole pumps, tubing to the surface and flow in the surface piping network. I solved the partial differential equations for the physics of fluid flow numeerically in C# anmd inckluded a means to define any arbitrary flow configuratiuon and devised a general means to perform the solution for 3 phase flow to compute pressure andf temperature everyewhere. Then I used my model to compute the response in an actual field to validate the model. N
No one else has succeeded in doing that, so I know it's still the best model available and I have all my notes, so I know how I defined and built it.
Now I'm trying to decide how best to apply the model. I could try to sell it, but I think the market would be very limited. I might sell 2 or 3 coppies at most, or I can use the model to further develop the theoryt of pressure anaysis which would have wide applicatio, for emote monitoring of wells, like subsea completions and remote fields where you can't easily get data, but can easily measure surface pressure and temperature using IOT technology, etc. but gets into the mathematics of nonlinear chaotic dynamics, which would also be a new application, but sort of scary on the math side.
At any rate, the defense doesn't bother me. 2 of the professors on my commitee have already goner over my dissertation and said that they agreed that I would pass.
So now just waiting for the date to be set.

Congratulations Walt, I know you've been working at it for a while now.

Yeah, having a stroke right before my defense screwed things up. Then my supervisor quit and moved to Saudi Arabia. and two of my committee members retired and resigneed, so I had to get an exception from the Dean of ZEngineering and the Dean of the Graduate School, then form a new committee, so it's been tough, but hopefully it will all be finisdhed soon. I told the department chair, I want toi graduate before I die and I've already used yup two lives! He says it will happen in mid-October.

I use the #region "directive" a lot to organize my obviously far too large source files. The trouble is that I want it to stay against the left border of Visual Studio, but the automatic formation moves it out to the code depth. I've looked in the editor settings some, but didn't find it. Anyone know how I might be able to set that?
Thanks, Mike

Yes.
Code in VB.Net 
Yes, seriously; in VB.Net the #region "comments" are always aligned to the left-margin, irrespective of code indentation.
I can't see a way to replicate that with C# code though.
I'm guessing this isn't the answer you were hoping for...

Good feedback, other than the code in VB. 
You would think that it should be a user configurable setting available under Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Code Style > Formatting > Indentation
But it isn't there. I think we should use the the VS Help > Send Feedback option to bug MS about this.

Nope. Not the answer. No VB.Net for me. Thanks though.

You can't and you shouldn't!
I get annoyed because #If does butt to the left! Very annoying.

re #if, does that not make sense though? Its not supposed to be part of the normal flow, you want it to really stand out.

No, I don't. I'm OCD - it just looks wrong.

As an alternative; use partial classes and put it in multiple, ordered files.

That just makes debugging a hassle. Also, my methods are often over 1000 lines long... and don't think of critiquing that. I'm hired to write the big complicated stuff.
