Should be 11 letters. Or are you becoming American?

The first I felt that the clue to CCC was easy.

If you think it's that easy, answer it!
Then you can set one tomorrow!

Is the correct answer - you are up tomorrow!

I'm no good at setting these up.
Going into research mode. Hopefully, tomorrow won't be as easy.

You can never tell - some I thought would be gone in five minutes didn't get solved at all, and some I figured were a real challenge were answered immediately.
We have a lot of different brains here, and they all think differently...

we have a lot of class where all properties are readonly and have constructor with 40+ parameters to initialize those said properties.
And, in the unit test code with have code like
public static T EmptyConstructor<T>()
{
return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>("{}");
}
This is the kind of typical web developer code that make me sick to just look at it.
Where do web developers learn to code?
That seems to be fairly typical practice for web developer to do that, but it makes me want to vomit!

SO, for the not so web developer amongst us, what is wrong with that ?
|
|
|
|

- constructor with lots (I mean, 40+ mandatory parameters) is kind of a bad idea (i.e. an endless source of pain)
- having all property setter, and the using reflection to call the private setter anyway, or having zillion of mandatory parameters and using reflection tricks to automatically fill them for you is what I would call bad practice and generally cause endless source of perfectly avoidable pain, while providing little concrete benefit (more like, what if benefits)
not too mention such code has bad performance and is hard to understand and modify, quite often.

OK, what would be the correct way to handle the parameters then ? (Genuine question, trying to learn here).

If your method requires more than 3 or 4 parameters then refactor your method. Break it down into several smaller, more manageable methods. Also, look at passing an object into the method instead of multiple parameters.
If I see a method requiring more than 3 or 4 parameters I will take immediate action. This is something I have addressed in the development team's coding standards document.

We have Sonar set up to flag > 7 parameters as a defect. Even 7 would require a very good reason to get passed at code review.

We use Resharper, but not sure if it flags this up or not. I'm going to have a look though.

This Sonar tool sounded interesting, but all links that google found were "IP address not found". Does this tool still exist?

Years ago, I was working in a company making a Fortran compiler that had to be extended for one single customer: The old version had a limit of 99 paramters to a function; this customer's code broke that limit!
The new compiler (it was in fact an all new compiler, not an update of the old one) could handle 127 parameters, but this could easily be extended to 255. The customer's needs were satisfied with 127 parameters.
Other strange cases I have been in touch with: I worked with the company makin the linker for ITT System 12 telephone exchange software. This linker had to be extended when one of the modules exported more than 32767 symbols! All it took was to replace a signed 16-bit index with an unsigned index, for 65535 symbols, but I can to some degree excuse the developers for thinking that 32K exported symbols should be enough for everybody  . (There was no similar limit on total number of imported symbols.)
The same software also won a first prize for the largest struct definition: approx 8300 lines. If you print it out, 72 lines to the page, that one type defintion would fill a book of 120 pages. True enough: This wasn't one flat set of 8300 fields, but a variant structure defining a protocol element, with a few common header fields followed by all the different variants depending on the function code in the header. Nevertheless, in my eyes this is crazy. ... But then, almost every time I see code relating to telephone switches, I say "This is crazy". I suppose it is just a completely different approach to programming.
