The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

I've been frustrated the last couple of days trying to get multiple files to upload while still updating individual progress bars in a responsive WPF UI. I finished it this moring, and I came up with this oh so satisfying line:

<br />
fu.ui.UploadFile(fu.file); // ;D<br />


I think that might be the coolest and most satisfying line of code I have ever written. Cool | :cool:

You might see this line in Coding Horrors the next time some other coder runs across it!
